High summer temperatures create ideal conditions for bacteria to multiply in food, increasing the risk of food poisoning. For this reason, it is important to take extra care when preparing, storing and consuming foods.

Experts advise that perishable foods, such as meat, fish, milk and dairy products, should always be kept in the refrigerator and not left for more than two hours at room temperature. Also, fruits and vegetables should be washed well before consumption, while hands should be cleaned with soap before each meal.

During the summer, it is recommended to avoid eating foods that have been in the sun for a long time or have been prepared in unsuitable hygienic conditions. Also, drink safe water and keep your body hydrated throughout the day.

If symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, or dizziness appear after eating, it is important to drink plenty of fluids and seek medical help, especially if symptoms are severe or last more than 24–48 hours.
