Why do humans get food poisoning so easily compared to animals?
In: Biology
Most other animals we see in the world have grown to be highly specialized for certain food groups. Humans evolved specifically to eat as much as possible from a large variety of sources. But that opens us up to more diseases and bacterias than other animals that eat only a handful of specific foods.
Plus, we have some pretty poor food handling practices. Many animals can actually handle eating poop, we cannot. But humans get animal poop and human poop and urine mixed into food all the time somehow, somewhere along the line of process.

There are many reasons why we get sick more often than other species. Humans are weird with everything we do.
