Poor food hygiene may cause a few cases of diarrhea ('a dose of the trots'), but will not lead to serious ill?

True or false?Poor food hygiene may cause a few cases of diarrhea ('a dose of the trots'), but will not lead to serious ill?
the CDC estimates that foodborne diseases cause approximately 76 million illnesses, 325,000 hospitalizations, and 5,000 deaths in the United States each year. Known pathogens account for an estimated 14 million illnesses, 60,000 hospitalizations, and 1,800 deaths. Three pathogens, Salmonella, Listeria, and Toxoplasma, are responsible for 1,500 deaths each year, more than 75% of those caused by known pathogens, while unknown agents account for the remaining 62 million illnesses, 265,000 hospitalizations, and 3,200 deaths. Overall, foodborne diseases appear to cause more illnesses but fewer deaths than previously estimated.Poor food hygiene may cause a few cases of diarrhea ('a dose of the trots'), but will not lead to serious ill?
Poor food hygiene can lead to food poisoning. In fact, that may be what causes the diarrhea. Food poisoning. And of course, some cases of food poisoning can be very serious, or even deadly.
Of course, not cooking food properly will cause it to be contaminated with bacteria. Your body will try to get rid of the bad food by diarrhea or vomit and possibly become seriously ill.
