Which are considered the best ways to cure food poisoning?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on the cause: Food posioning due to staphylococcal toxin is usually short lived and subsides by itself. Botulism may require ventilator support; salmonella may need antibiotics; chemical toxins may require specific antidotes and so on.
