According to data released by South Korean government departments on the 6th, the number of food poisoning cases in the country from January to August this year has surpassed that of last year. Experts believe that one important reason is the increase in high temperatures caused by climate change. According to Yonhap News Agency, documents submitted by South Korea's Ministry of Food and Drug Safety to National Power Party member Han Ji-ah show that there were 7,884 people with food poisoning in South Korea in the first eight months of this year, which is 260 more cases than last year. Norovirus causes the most cases, accounting for nearly 30%, followed by salmonella, which accounts for about 10%.
