A foreign body is something that is stuck inside you but isn't supposed to be there. You may inhale or swallow a foreign body, or you may get one from an injury to almost any part of your body.

The term “food poisoning” generally refers to any illness resulting from a foodborne pathogen that causes intestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. The term also groups illnesses by symptoms rather than by the pathogen that causes the illness (such as a toxin, bacterium, virus or parasite).
Foodborne intoxications classified in Chapter 1 – Infectious and Parasitic Diseases result from toxins in bacteria or other organisms that are growing on food.
Intestinal infectious diseases (A00-A09) make up the first block of codes in Chapter 1. Intestinal infectious diseases may be caused by a microorganism itself, or by toxins produced by the microorganism. Generally, enteritis caused by the microorganism itself is classified as a foodborne infection, while enteritis caused by the toxin produced by the microorganism is classified as foodborne intoxication. One aspect that makes classification of intestinal infections difficult is that some enteric pathogens cause both types of enteritis; that is, the bacteria itself may cause enteritis, yet toxins produced by the same bacteria may exacerbate the condition.
