Eli5 What would happen to our intestine we didn’t get a diarrhea from eating spoiled food?
In: Biology
The intestine wall can get infected by the bacteria or fungi from the spoiled food. So when contact with spoiled food or some harmful microorganisms is detected, the intestine starts an emergency flush protocol to get rid of everything in it – that is diarrhea. It technically serves the same purpose and works in the same way as runny nose.
