Is it possible to get food poisioning while having a cold ? could my immune system handle it ? i am healthy 23 year old
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Certainly: You can definitely get food poisoning even if you have a cold. Your immune system is busy fighting the cold but in a normal, healthy person the immune system will also take care of the food poisoning as well. If you become dehydrated from diarrhea / vomiting you will need to see a doctor.
