The most commonly recognized foodborne infections are those caused by the bacteria Campylobacter, Salmonella, and E. coli O157:H7, and by a group of viruses called calicivirus, also known as the Norwalk and Norwalk-like viruses.

...

Some common diseases are occasionally foodborne, even though they are usually transmitted by other routes. These include infections caused by Shigella, hepatitis A, and the parasites Giardia lamblia and Cryptosporidia. Even strep throats have been transmitted occasionally through food.

In addition to disease caused by direct infection, some foodborne diseases are caused by the presence of a toxin in the food that was produced by a microbe in the food. For example, the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus can grow in some foods and produce a toxin that causes intense vomiting. The rare but deadly disease botulism occurs when the bacterium Clostridium botulinum grows and produces a powerful paralytic toxin in foods. These toxins can produce illness even if the microbes that produced them are no longer there.

Other toxins and poisonous chemicals can cause foodborne illness. People can become ill if a pesticide is inadvertently added to a food, or if naturally poisonous substances are used to prepare a meal. Every year, people become ill after mistaking poisonous mushrooms for safe species, or after eating poisonous reef fishes.

Tried rattlesnake in Scottsdale one time. Yes, it did taste very good, although you had to pick through all the bones to get any meat substance............

I don't care what you call it, it was crunchy in all of the wrong ways.

Your sea urchin was crunchy? WTF? You know you're supposed to take it out of the shell first right?

Cubes of fermented Greenland shark on toothpicks.

That has to be one of the most horrifying smells on the planet, good thing it tastes nothing like ti smells.

Your sea urchin was crunchy? WTF? You know you're supposed to take it out of the shell first right?
