Each year, 1 in 6 Americans experience food poisoning, with symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, often caused by bacteria, viruses, or improper food handling. Experts from the University of Michigan, including Dr. Alison Tribble and Dr. Brad Uren, recommend preventative measures like proper food storage, avoiding cross-contamination, cooking meat to safe temperatures, and practicing good hand hygiene to reduce the risk of illness.
