      You don’t really make it, but if you don’t treat and handle food properly, then the microbes that cause food poisoning can get into the food, grow, and then make you poorly.

      Take 1 person, add a lot of bacteria-filled food, put them together and wait for somewhere between an hour and 12 hours usually. Serve with a bucket or toilet.

      Yep, you need to make sure you cook your food properly like chicken and eggs. With dairy products, you need to keep them in the fridge to stop bugs growing in them. If you do this then you will reduce the chance of getting food poisoning.
