Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1.What are common first symptoms in many foodborne diseases
CorrectIncorrectHint
These different diseases have many different symptoms, so there is no one “syndrome” that is foodborne illness. However, the microbe or toxin enters the body through the gastrointestinal tract, and often causes the first symptoms there, so nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps and diarrhea are common symptoms in many foodborne diseases.

3.Sports drinks such as Gatorade can be used for the treatment of diarrheal illness.
CorrectIncorrectHint
Replacing the lost fluids and electrolytes and keeping up with fluid intake are important. If diarrhea is severe, the physician may recommend an oral rehydration solution such as Ceralyte, Pedialyte or Oralyte, to replace the fluid losses and prevent dehydration. Sports drinks such as Gatorade do not replace the losses correctly and should not be used for the treatment of diarrheal illness.
