is caused by paramyxovirus and is transmitted
Food Poisoning
is caused by ingesting toxins, many of which
after ingestion.
S. aureus
releases enterotoxins A or D which inflames
cause vomiting
C. perfringens
produces an enterotoxin that causes food
poisoning
C. botulinum
produces neurotoxins that produce the fatal
B. cereus

V. cholerae
can outbreak anywhere sanitation is poor and fecal matter exists in the
water
most deaths occur due to loss of fluids which causes blood viscosity
and causes shock
