Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Foodborne illnesses may lead to dehydration, hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), and other complications. Acute foodborne illnesses may also lead to chronic-or long lasting-health problems. The only treatment needed for most foodborne illnesses is replacing lost ffuids and electrolytes to prevent dehydration.
Detailed explanation-2: -Older adults have a higher risk because as people age, their immune systems and organs don’t recognize and get rid of harmful germs as well as they once did. Nearly half of people aged 65 and older who have a lab-confirmed foodborne illness from Salmonella, Campylobacter, Listeria or E. coli are hospitalized.
