(June 28, 2012) – Summer is here and the smell of barbeque is in the air. Grilling can be one of the healthiest ways to prepare meals, but we want you to prevent getting food poisoning. The CDC says each year, foodborne diseases make about 48 million Americans sick. Dr. Christina Bauer, Inova Family Medicine – Lake Ridge explains, “People with a food borne illness can experience a variety of symptoms – some occurring almost immediately, while others may not appear until several days after eating contaminated food. A common diagnosis for food borne illness is gastroenteritis and the effects can last for hours or up to six months. Keep your family safe when planning this year’s picnic by following the food safety tips outlined below.”
