Overview
More than 250 pathogens and toxins cause foodborne illness. Nearly all of them can cause an outbreak, according to the C.D.C. This book provides essential information on food-borne diseases, but also serves as a historical survey, by providing information on the controversies surrounding its causes, and first-person narratives by people coping with food-borne diseases. Readers will learn from the words of patients, family members, or caregivers. The symptoms, causes, treatments, and potential cures are explained in detail. Alternative treatments are also covered. Student researchers and readers will find this book easily accessible through its careful and conscientious editing and a thorough introduction to each essay.
