When you find yourself hunched over the toilet, it can feel like your body has seriously betrayed you. But sometimes, this type of purging is a necessary evil: a regulating system to keep your body in tip-top shape from unwanted intruders. A common culprit? Food poisoning.

Eating a sketchy meal can mean you’ve ingested a goldmine of bacteria, viruses, and parasites that wreak havoc on your system. And it’s not just the type of food that’s to blame—its temperature, the way it was prepared, and how it was stored can all make you sick, too.
