How to treat food poisoning and how to prevent food poisoning?

Can taking 500 mg of vitamin C a day prevent food poisoning?

  • I have a high immune system because I take 500mg of vitamin C everyday..can that prevent you from getting food poisoning or at least help it when you ate a spoiled food such as spoiled mayo?

  • Answer:

    No ... it can't/won't prevent you from getting food poisoning ... but it will help you/your body build up protections against other things that help to make you sick. Food poisoning comes from eating tainted food ... whether it is spoiled or someone actually placed harmful chemicals in something you eat. You get it whenever you eat bad food. Taking high doses of Vitamin C isn't like taking small amounts of arsenic to build up a certain tolerance for arsenic ... (which is stupid by the way) ... but it is a good way to help you improve your body's ability to fight off colds and flu like illnesses. I will also add that taking high doses of Vitamin C will also act as an antibiotic for tooth aches and sore gums and the like (it helps to reduce the swelling) and will ease much of the pain before you get to a Dentist. In no way am I saying that it will cure what ails you ... that's what Doctors are for ... I'm just saying that it will help ease some of the pain before you make it to your Doctor.

NO.... Your immune system has a defense system called friendly flora, these bacteria are good and they eat bad bacteria which comes into the system. the more good bacteria you have the better the chance you don't get sick, but if your immune system is weak and have a low friendly flora count your going to get sick and often.
