Reported risk: As we age, our immune system weakens and it becomes harder to ward off harmful bacteria. Older adults, specifically those over 60 years of age, are more at risk of foodborne illness (also known as food poisoning) for this reason. If you are preparing food, or a caregiver is doing it for you, it's important to follow safe food handling and cooking practices. Up to four million (or 1 in 8) Canadians get sick every year from foodborne illness. Many cases of food poisoning go unreported because the symptoms are similar to the stomach flu. The most common symptoms of food poisoning include stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and fever. If you are an older adult and you are having symptoms, it's important that you not ignore them and seek medical advice, as food poisoning can be particularly dangerous.
