Brief Answer:
Easily treated by Fasigyn!

Detailed Answer:
Hi, there is nothing to worry about.

This infection is easily treated fully within 3-5days with fasigyn and there is nothing to worry about. The main cause of this is poor handling of food and you should really work on that to avoid recontamination. If there is anyone around with similar symptoms, they should be investigated and treated accordingly to avoid re-infestation.

I hope this helps. Iw isn you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
