Famous models of the world. e place
Greetings, dear readers. How often do we become victims of our own stomachs? Video hosting sites show videos exposing supermarkets and catering establishments. I personally know a girl who works in a chain of famous supermarkets. She tells how they make cutlets there from... missing cutlets. I don’t buy semi-finished products and ready-made salads, but there is a risk of running into... low quality products always is. Did you know that moldy smoked fish washed and then sent back to the counter? Even a chef cannot determine the degree of its depravity! What can we say about us... Against this background, the question of what to do when food poisoning at home.
Let me warn you right away that if you feel very unwell, you should contact an ambulance. Mild intoxication can be suppressed on your own. Agree, it’s unpleasant when you have an important event planned, but you can’t tear yourself away from the restroom. Where to begin?
How to understand that you have been poisoned?
Let's be diagnosticians. Food poisoning can easily be confused with certain diseases. Character traits:
- pain and cramping that occurs first in the upper abdomen and then spreads lower;
- digestive disorders: vomiting, diarrhea (feces are foul-smelling, with undigested particles), nausea;
- flatulence, bloating;
- increased heart rate;
- dizziness, vision problems;
- headache;
- weakness;
- heat(usually up to 38 °C).
It is not a fact that the whole “bouquet” of symptoms will appear at once. The first signs will begin to alarm you within 2-24 hours. Why such a spread? Depends on the type of food. Some foods are more dangerous than others.
Causes of food poisoning
According to statistics, most often the “root of evil” are:
- dairy and fermented milk products;
- pastries with cream;
- glazed cheese curds;
- ready-made salads with sour cream or mayonnaise;
- eggs;
- cheese, especially soft;
- pates and boiled sausage;
- canned food;
- tomato juice and tomatoes.
How to help yourself with food poisoning at home?
1. Quickly rinse your stomach if you suspect that you have recently received poisoning. This way you will prevent toxins from spreading through the blood. Prepare a weak solution of potassium permanganate. Adult 1 liter. 10 crystals of water are enough. Make sure that they dissolve, otherwise you will get a burn to your mucous membranes. It is better to strain the liquid through cheesecloth.
Potassium permanganate itself does not cause vomiting. It cleanses the walls of the stomach. The process starts due to the large volume of alcohol consumed: 1.5-2 liters are consumed at a time. If the mechanisms do not work on their own, you will have to press your fingers on the root of the tongue. There is no need to immediately run to the toilet, wait a little. The procedure is repeated until the water comes out in its original form.
2. We got rid of the source, but some of the harmful substances managed to penetrate the body. Now let's deal with it. Do you have sorbents in your first aid kit? The most popular are black and white coal, Enterosgel, Smecta. You should always keep them on hand! Read the instructions and take the medicine. Sometimes the vomiting returns. If the sorbent did not have time to act and did not go further, you will have to repeat it.
3. You can’t eat, you can and should drink water. You have lost a lot of fluid. This is more dangerous than starvation! When the stomach stops actively “resenting”, switch to weak tea with honey and a soothing herbal teas. Give your body a break: rest on this day and do not overload it with food.
These are the most important rules that explain what to do in case of food poisoning at home.
Restoring digestion
The acute condition has passed. What's next? Dieting. If you immediately start eating at normal mode, the vicious circle will close. Vomiting will begin again, diarrhea and other delights will begin. After 1-2 days, light jelly, crackers without additives, broth, and pureed vegetable soups are introduced into the diet. The menu is being expanded gradually.
It will take a week to fully recover. At this time, you should not indulge yourself with spicy and salty foods, smoked meats, pickles and carbonated drinks. They irritate the mucous membranes. Affected organs should be supported. Soon I will share with you tips for “rehabilitating” the liver.
When should you see a doctor?
Who wants to go to the infectious diseases department? No one. However, the line between “I can handle it myself” and “I need help” is very thin. Some people are used to running to the hospital at the slightest change, while others heroically endure it. You should definitely see a doctor if:
- arises unbearable pain in the area of liver, kidneys and others internal organs;
- it seems that there is not enough air, sweat flows in streams and the temperature has risen;
- intoxication in a child or elderly person;
- one of the suspects is mushrooms;
- the head “splits”;
- diarrhea and vomiting continue for more than 2 days;
- weakness and some symptoms did not go away after a week.
How to avoid the danger of food poisoning?
Three main rules: maintain hygiene, store food properly and remain vigilant. Only these measures will protect you at least 99%.
- Look at appearance dishes, pay attention to its taste and smell. The slight sourness and changed aroma are alarming. Mucus often appears on spoiled food.
- Feel free to get rid of rotting vegetables and fruits, moldy bread, bulging packaging, etc. If mold appears on the side, it means it is inside.
- The sealed jars open with a slight pop. If you did not hear it, most likely the canned food was not sealed tightly.
- In the store, check not only the production date and expiration date, but also the integrity of the packaging. Some people like to taste before buying and then just put the product in place.
- The dirtiest items in the kitchen are towels and sponges. Yes, yes, the same ones we use to wash and wipe dishes. Change them regularly.
- It is advisable to have several cutting boards to cut raw meat and fish on one, and everything else on the other.
- Do not visit questionable catering establishments.
How do you check restaurants and cafes for integrity? For example, I look at traffic and the number of dishes with sauces. Stale products are usually hidden under gas stations. I wish you never to get sick!

So let’s discuss how to recognize toxic people and how to navigate complex process getting rid of such people. Your future depends on it.
How to know if someone is making your life miserable
There are people who constantly pull you back - annoying, quarrelsome, constantly demanding something, or simply repulsive. But such people cannot be called poisoners in the strict sense of the word. They are just unpleasant individuals. These are the people you want to keep a little distance from, but there is no immediate need to cut them out of your life.
There is a wide variety of people who poison life. On the one hand, your old school friend, who never stops talking about how little time you spend together now. With another - ex-girlfriend, which can still manipulate you, leading to attacks. Your friend may just be annoying, but your ex is most likely making your life miserable.
Of course, you will have to decide when to just keep your distance and when to cut the person out of your life. Your sister's patience is probably much greater than that of a colleague, but sisters and colleagues are different.
Now let's talk about the real ill-wishers - those who infect and control your life. Let's list a few classic signs people who poison life.
- They are trying to control you. It may sound strange, but people who cannot control own life, often seek to control yours. Their toxic influence manifests itself in attempts to control others, both openly and secretly, through sophisticated manipulation.
- They don't respect your personal boundaries. If you constantly tell someone not to do a certain thing to you, and they continue to do so, they are probably making your life miserable. Respect for other people's boundaries is natural for a well-mannered adult. And the people who make your life miserable profit by violating boundaries.
- They take but give nothing. The ability to take and give is the key. Sometimes you need a helping hand, sometimes your friend needs a helping hand, but you give and take in equal measure. But not with people who poison your life - they will take everything they can from you, and for as long as you last.
- They are always right. They will always find a way to be right, even when they are not. They extremely rarely admit that they messed up, made a mistake, or expressed themselves incorrectly.
- They are not sincere. This is not about exaggeration, saving face, or other types of white lies. We are talking about clear and repeated dishonest behavior.
- They love the role of victim. People who make your life miserable take pleasure in playing the role of a victim against whom the whole world is opposed. They are looking for a reason to be offended, insulted, ignored, although in fact they do not feel anything like that. They like to make excuses, give seemingly reasonable explanations, or completely deny their guilt in what happened.
- They don't take responsibility. Partially appears due to the desire to avoid responsibility. “Things are just the way they are”, “We are not like this, life is like this” - phrases illustrating the attitude of the poisoners to life.
Doesn't remind you of anyone? People who make your life miserable can go unnoticed for years. Until you stop to reflect on your experience with them.
Now let's talk about how to get rid of such people.
Why is it so important to get rid of people who make your life miserable?
It is very rare when ill-wishers completely interfere with all your attempts to change for the better, but it does happen. Basically they slow down your progress.
The main thing is, do you want a person in your life who is actively preventing you from making your life better?
The answer is, of course, no. This may be hard for you to accept, but not until you realize the impact his company is having on you.
Under the influence of a person who is poisoning your life, you may reconsider an important decision. You may be sad, feel uncomfortable, and frankly ashamed of your... You may not even adopt the most best qualities poisoners, for example, begin to envy someone else's happiness. Because all people who poison life have general feature: They want you to become like them.
Most often, we simply do not realize that someone’s behavior is poisoning our lives. If you have such a boss, then you understand how it works: his behavior makes you irritable and embittered, you lash out at your subordinates, then the employees begin to conflict more and more with each other, and then they transfer this irritation to their friends. And before you knew it, the poison had already spread.
How to get rid of people who truly poison your life
- Accept that it may be a long goodbye. Cleaning up toxic elements is not always easy. If a person did not respect your personal boundaries before, he will not respect them now. He may come back even after you tell him to go away. You may have to say this several times before he finally leaves for good.
- Don't feel like you have to explain anything. Any explanation you give is more likely to yourself. Say how you feel, but in a way that makes it clear that it's not up for discussion. You can do it even simpler: gently and calmly tell the person that you no longer want to see him in your life. How much or how little explanation is needed is up to you. Different relationships require a different approach.
- Speak in a public place. It’s not surprising that people who make your life miserable can be confrontational or even cruel. Having a public conversation can greatly reduce the possibility of conflict. And if something goes wrong, you can get up and leave.
- Block such people on social networks. Technology is making it harder to distance yourself, so don't leave open window, through which ill-wishers can terrorize or persuade you. You have defined your boundaries. Stick to them. This includes preventive measures, such as limiting contacts on social networks.
- Don't argue, just establish new boundaries. It may be tempting to get into arguments and conflicts with people who are making your life miserable, but that's exactly what they want. If they try to come back, avoid the discussion. Set your boundaries firmly and then end the conversation. You are not trying to convince the person to leave you alone. This is not a negotiation. So, as they say, don't feed the troll.
- Consider maintaining distance rather than breaking up completely. Remember, we talked about a person who can hardly be called a poison to life, but nevertheless he is unpleasant to you? Similar people You don’t need to completely erase it from your life. You just need to keep your distance, dividing your time between communicating with them and your personal affairs.
Doing all of the above is not always necessary. It all depends on specific situation. Sometimes it’s enough to just make a decision and increase the distance, especially if we’re talking about friends and colleagues, it won’t require serious conversation. Remember that you don't have to explain anything to anyone. You can simply disappear slowly and quietly from a person's life so that you stop feeling its toxic effects. Relationships with such people are like a fire: stop feeding it food, and it will go out by itself.
But there is one scenario when you have to act differently. We are talking about relationships with blood relatives.
What to do if the person who is making your life miserable is a member of your family
There are no simple recipes or standard answers that will suit everyone.
Breaking off a relationship with a relative who is poisoning your life can be the most important break in your life. Family directly influences your thoughts, behavior, and choices. But relatives are not your owners simply by virtue of blood ties. Kinship is not a license to ruin your life. Remember this.
That's why increasing the distance between the person who is poisoning your life and you - The best decision, and it doesn’t matter whether it’s physical or emotional distance.
But in the case of relatives, you will have to make some concessions. You can distance yourself emotionally, but you must recognize that you will still have to interact with this person (for example, meeting for holiday dinners or caring for parents together). To keep your distance, you will have to learn to separate practical activities and the emotional component - you will agree to take part in this person's life when it is really necessary, but do not allow him to negatively influence you.
It is especially important to make informed decisions regarding family members. So ask yourself: What kind of return are you getting from your family members? How are they going? Can you actually completely cut off all ties with a relative who is poisoning your life? You may answer these questions and decide that you need to end the relationship permanently. Or you can adjust your behavior according to the situation. The main thing is to find time to think about what is happening and possible consequences wrong decision.
Cutting a family member out of your life is not easy. But it may be the most liberating decision you ever make.
What is the most important thing about getting rid of people who are poisoning your life? This is a message to yourself. You tell yourself, “I have value.” You put your happiness above other people's problems. And if one day you realize how some people can destroy your sense of self-worth, it will become more difficult for them to penetrate your life.
