For most people, foodborne illness may not always result in serious complications, and many will recover without getting seriously ill. Some; however, may not be so lucky. Groups at higher risk for developing life-threatening complications include:

• Infants & Young children

• Elderly people

• People with weakened immune systems (immunocompromised)

• Pregnant women

For these groups, foodborne illness can be fatal! Essentially, you never know who you are going to get, so being mindful is always the best remedy.
