STOP! Don't Eat That!

In fact don't eat anything at all.  That seems to be the only way to avoid getting sick and or dying from something you ate.  Of course the one setback to my suggestion here is that after a few short weeks you'll be dead anyway, and prior to that you'll probably be wishin you were dead. Aside from that my plan on avoiding food borne illnesses is foolproof.
Seems researchers have now discovered, or perhaps are just now revealing, that long after a bout with food poisoning your body may suffer an even more devastating illness as a result of the food poisoning you suffered 10- 20 years ago.

they described high blood pressure, kidney damage, even full kidney failure in those who survived severe E. coli infection as children, arthritis after a bout of salmonella or shigella, and a mysterious paralysis that can attack people who just had mild symptoms of campylobacter.as some of the illnesses
Fortunately These late effects are believed to make up a very small fraction of the nation's 76 million annual food poisonings, although a bigger question would be what other illnesses could yet to be scientifically linked to food poisoning.
