Fans to chew on the street more often at risk to wind up in the "infectious".Not only that in the sun all foods spoil faster, so more and pathogenic microbes desperately breed. So likely to get food poisoning in the heat a lot more.
Who is to blame?

Self-treatment you can do if you are sure you got the right food poisoning and not a serious infection (botulism, diphtheria, salmonellosis, etc.).
From food poisoning save: gastric lavage (remove infected products and toxins) - one drinks 1, 5 liters of a solution of 0, 1% potassium permanganate (make sure that all the crystals have dissolved). Then you need to induce vomiting.
Vomiting triggers dehydration. To avoid this, every 15 minutes, you should drink a tablespoon of boiled water or the rehydration solution (1 l of water 1 bag of powder). During the day you should drink at least 1, 5 liters.
Activated charcoal (2 tablets 3 times a day), "Smectite" (1 dose 3 times a day). If "no respect" tablets, dissolve 1 tablespoon of potato starch in half a glass of boiled water.
After gastric lavage is recommended warm tea and coffee without sugar. It will also help cocktail Food antivirus: mix a glass of any juice without pulp with honey and add a pinch of table salt. Drink compensate for the loss of micronutrients.
Children are better tablets not to stuff

If the product is supposed to store for a long time, put it only in the freezer. But do not carry products from a common chamber in the freezer and back temperature variations from zero to minus 15 degrees destroy the product.

Eggs in the cells of the fridge, put the sharp end down, and if you keep them longer than a week, from time to time turn it upside down.
If your refrigerator does not have a camera with cooled to minus 18 degrees Celsius, all the products in it may be stored for more than a week. But if there is one, anything will lie quietly when cooled to 12 degrees six months.
Especially love the microbes dishes of minced meat, such as jelly or pasta nautically postavka warm. To avoid poisoning, jelly after cutting meat should again be boiled 10-15 minutes, pasta and pancakes with meat before serving, re-fry.
Cold snacks, cakes, salads, vinaigrettes and dishes, mayonnaise, even in the refrigerator become dangerous after 6-8 hours.
