Food sometimes gets poisoned with harmful things. A person who eats such food can get an illness called
food poisoning. Food poisoning is usually not serious, but some types are deadly, The symptoms of food
poisoning usually begin within hours of eating the poisoned food. Fever is one of the most common symptoms.

can poison eggs, meat, vegetables, and many other foods. After entering the body, these tiny living things
release (释放) poisons that make people sick.
Some chemicals can also cause food poisoning. They are often added to food while it is being grown,
processed, or prepaid. For example, many farmers spray chemicals on crops to kill weeds and insects. Some
