The Dangers of E. Coli
When a food vendor prepares food for customers, making sure conditions are sanitary and that preparation is handled properly is of just as much importance as making sure the food comes out fast and delicious. This is because food poisoning is not always just a matter of an upset stomach. Foodborne illness such as that caused by e. coli bacteria can be a serious matter, leading those who suffer them to suffer from severe illness, possibly resulting in death.

We are prepared to represent clients who have suffered an e. coli infection due to the negligence of another party. Contact us by calling 877-948-4842 today to discuss your legal options.
Symptoms of E. Coli Poisoning
E. Coli is a bacteria found in normal animal and human intestines. However, dangerous strains of these bacteria can cause illness and are transmitted through poorly prepared, improperly stored, or otherwise tainted food. The following are symptoms of e. coli infection, and it should be noted that those who are most vulnerable may require immediate admission to a hospital for the prompt administration of potentially lifesaving treatment:
- Diarrhea
- Blood in the stool
- Abdominal pain
- Nausea
- Vomiting
These symptoms can range from mild to severe, and are potentially very dangerous for children and the elderly.
