Infants and the elderly are at greater risk for food poisoning. A person is also at greater risk if any of the following is true:

Pre-existing medical condition, such as chronic kidney failure or diabetes
Antibiotic or histamine-blocking medicines
Sickle-cell anemia and other problems with red blood cells
Weakened immune system
Travel in an area where contamination is more likely
Food shortage

It should be 1. This kind of people didn't take vaccine against Staphylococcus aureus. How do you think?

i think it would be kids who always lived in canada...choice 4.

Reason I think is the previous exposure to the pathogen would incur some immunologic memory....and hence less symptomology than those whose immune systems have never encountered.....I think its probably B.cereus and most of people lived in china have had this...out of the kids or the elderly in Canada....probably the older folk have come across it sometime in their lives...whereas young kids...this will be first exposure....
