The weather is hot these days, and it's the perfect season for food to spoil.
That may be why the number of food poisoning patients is also increasing rapidly.
When most people think of food poisoning symptoms, they only think of abdominal pain, diarrhea, and vomiting. Did you know that unexpected symptoms like hives or headaches can also be a type of food poisoning?
In this article, we'll go into a little more detail about food poisoning symptoms, as well as some of the more atypical symptoms that are frequently searched for these days!
1. Food poisoning: When do symptoms appear?
Symptoms of food poisoning usually begin between 6 and 24 hours after eating contaminated food.
It can be even more confusing because it can take as little as a few hours or as long as 3 to 5 days to appear.
When symptoms begin, the stomach hurts a lot, and it is often followed by watery diarrhea or vomiting.
This may be accompanied by chills, a low fever, or a headache.
Especially for children and the elderly, dehydration progresses quickly, so if diarrhea or vomiting lasts more than a day, we recommend that you seek medical attention.
2. Are hives and headaches also food poisoning?
Yes, that's right!
These days, there are quite a few cases of hives, headaches, and facial flushing from certain types of food poisoning, such as histamine poisoning.
especially Sashimi, canned fish, and poorly stored red meat fish If you take it, these symptoms may appear quickly.
If you experience redness and itchiness in your face, hives, or a headache within an hour of taking it, you should definitely get suspicious.
This is what is commonly called histamine food poisoning Although it may look similar to an allergic reaction, it is a type of food poisoning.
3. When should I go to the hospital for food poisoning?
Most people recover naturally within a day or two, but if you experience any of the symptoms below, you must visit a hospital.
- When accompanied by a high fever of 38 degrees or higher
- When you have severe diarrhea more than 3 times a day
- When you have bloody diarrhea
- When a child or elderly person cannot eat or drink at all
- When vomiting lasts more than 24 hours
At the hospital, fluid therapy and, if necessary, antibiotics may be prescribed. In particular, if left untreated, enteritis or infectious food poisoning can lead to dehydration, which can lead to more serious problems.
✅ Which hospital should I go to if I have food poisoning?
✔️Mild symptoms (mild diarrhea, abdominal pain)
→ Internal medicine or family medicine
Common food poisoning symptoms can be easily treated at your local hospital's internal medicine or family medicine department. If necessary, you can also receive intravenous fluids or medication.
✔️Severe vomiting/diarrhea, high fever, dehydration symptoms
→ Emergency room (general hospital or university hospital)
If you have severe dehydration, bloody diarrhea, or a high fever, it's best to go to the emergency room immediately. Elderly and children, in particular, require prompt treatment.
✔️Suspected allergic reaction such as hives or difficulty breathing
→ Emergency room or allergy clinic
Like histamine food poisoning acute allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) If you suspect this, you should go to the emergency room immediately, as it can be life-threatening.
4. How can I prevent food poisoning?
Food poisoning is said to be over 90% preventable. This means that simply following basic hygiene rules can completely prevent it!
- Food that requires refrigeration must be stored below 4 degrees Celsius.
- Use separate cutting boards and knives for cooked and raw food.
- Wash your hands thoroughly before, during, and after cooking.
- Carefully check the expiration date and storage conditions of outside food.
- When traveling, eat cooked food rather than raw food.
Especially in the hot summer months, food can spoil easily if you let your guard down even a little, so you need to be especially careful when storing lunch boxes and side dishes.
5. Conclusion: Food Poisoning: Don't Just Look at the Obvious Symptoms
Stomach pain and diarrhea aren't the only symptoms of food poisoning.
Hives, headaches, and even a flushed face can all be signs of food poisoning.
Especially if you experience a sudden reaction after eating fish, such as histamine poisoning, it is important to respond quickly.
In times like these, don't just dismiss it as "Is it just the heat?" or "Is it because I'm tired?" Instead, be sure to check your food intake and symptoms!
