This book examines food poisoning and foodborne diseases, discussing their history, symptoms, effects, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.
Quick Summary
This book turns the science of stomach-churning illnesses into a CSI-style investigation where kids become food safety detectives tracking down the microscopic culprits behind every outbreak. Readers will gross out their friends with revolting stories about bacteria, parasites, and toxins while learning how to actually prevent becoming the next victim. If your kid loves the gross-out humor and scientific exploration in "I Survived" books or the mystery-solving in "Escape This Book," they'll be hooked on uncovering the truth about what makes people sick. With an AR Level of 9.1 and engaging content perfect for ages 14-18, it is ideal for curious middle and high schoolers who enjoy science with a side of squirm.
