The majority of intestinal infections causing gastroenteritis, including those caused by bacteria, usually resolve very well with supportive treatment.

People weakened by a pre-existing medical condition, those who are very young or older, as well as patients with high fever or chills should consult a doctor.

If you are like me and like to cook well, invest in a good cooking thermometer and practice exemplary hygiene measures!
