With the holiday season just around the corner, and the time when family and friends gather at the dinner table to enjoy the feast of feasts, there is also something else creeping on the dinner table, in the name of food borne pathogens.

The pathogens that cause food borne illnesses, "Toxins, Parasites and Bacterium" cannot be seen by the naked eye, which is what makes them so dangerous, unlike the mold seen on an old slice of bread or cheese.

The five main food borne illnesses from the above mentioned pathogens are Salmonella; E Coli, Campylobacter, Botulism and Mad Cow Disease. These all usually start out with sharp stomach aches, pains and cramps followed by headaches, fever, dizziness, vomiting and diarrhea.

In order to keep ones family safe from the dangers of food poisoning at the dinner table, one must know how to defeat it before it gets there, defeating food borne illnesses begins at the grocery store and ends in your kitchen.

Over 70% of people who come down with any type of food borne illness do not report it from a restaurant, they contract it from their home kitchen, now that is an amazingly staggering percentage, one of the main reasons for this is that no one cooking at home is required to take any type of food safety course, test or class in order to prepare food in their own home.

The ones at the most risk from food borne illnesses are the elderly, children and women who are pregnant.
