Dr. Umesh Patel answered

Specializes in Preventive Medicine

Food poisoning: Sanitary conditions at these events may be good, but certain foods need to be refrigerated or heated thoroughly to prevent bacteria from multiplyinf and causing brief stomach upsets. Try to eat only fully cooked & piping hot foods at fairs in the future!
