Going out to eat with your family is supposed to be a fun experience for everyone, but when someone starts complaining of stomach discomfort and pain, the fun stops. It’s something we’ve all heard about or experienced ourselves. Eating something that makes you sick not only brings a day or more of discomfort, but it affects your desire to go out to eat. When you’ve experienced the symptoms of food borne illness, you want to do everything in your power to prevent it from happening to other unsuspecting customers that frequent the same restaurants and eateries.
PritzkerOlsen Law produced an infographic giving you a step-by-step breakdown of the actions you need to take to protect your rights and the rights of others who could be experiencing the affects of food borne illnesses. From taking care of your illness, to testing for specific pathogens, to reporting your illness and the causes to your state health department, the information is useful whether you or someone you love is experiencing the symptoms.
PritzkerOlsen Law tells us that 1 in 6 people experience food borne illnesses every year with 128,000 hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths. Knowing what to do to help yourself and protect others can make a huge difference.
