In addition, spoiled eggs often contain sulfur compounds that produce a strong “rotten” smell. While these compounds themselves are not always dangerous, they are a sign that the egg has decomposed and may no longer be safe to eat.

3. Who Is at Higher Risk?

Certain groups are more vulnerable to severe complications from food poisoning:

• Young children
• Elderly adults

• People with weakened immune systems

In these individuals, dehydration and complications can develop more quickly. Medical attention may be necessary if symptoms become severe.

4. When to Seek Medical Help

You should consult a doctor if you experience:

• High fever (above 38.5°C / 101.3°F)
• Persistent vomiting
• Bloody diarrhea
• Signs of dehydration (dry mouth, dizziness, low urination)
• Symptoms lasting more than three days

Severe cases of bacterial infection may require antibiotics or hospital care.
