Talk about when you had food poisoning.

[Response]
A while ago, I had stomach problems because of something I ate. I think some food had gone bad. My stomach hurt, and I was running a fever. I got hives on the skin around my neck. It was definitely food poisoning. I took some medicine we had at home, and I got some rest. The next day, I went to a clinic. I received treatment, and I got a shot. I also got a prescription. Two days later, I felt myself again.

지난번에 뭔가를 질못 먹어서 배가 아팠다. 일부 음식이 상했던 것 같다. 배가 아프고 열이 났다, 목 부위 피부에 두드러기가 났다. 식중독 증세가 틀림없었다. 일단 집에 있는 약을 먹고 안정을 취했다. 다음날 병원에 가서 진료를 받고 주사를 맞았다. 그리고 약 처방도 받았다. 이틀 후에 몸이 다시 괜찮아졌다.

[Response]
I recently saw a news report about a mass food poisoning incident. The root of the problem was cake provided to school cafeterias from a food company. Over 1,000 people showed symptoms of food poisoning. They complained of high fevers, stomach pain, and vomiting. Ever since that incident I have been watching what I eat. I especially sweat the details with what my children eat. I always double-check the freshness of food and its expiration date.

촤근에 집단 식중독 사태에 대한 뉴스를 봤다. 한 식자재 업체에서 학교 급식소에 납품한 케이크가 문제였다. 1,000명 이상이 식중독 증세를 보이며 고열과 복통, 구토를 호소했다. 그 사건 이후로 나도 먹는 것에 신경을 쓰게 되었다. 특히 아이들이 먹는 것을 더 주의 깊게 살피게 된다. 그리고 항상 음식의 신선도와 유통 기한을 재차 확인한다.
