Can food poisoning cause infertility ? Posted: 12-12-07 07:58am
My girlfriend and I would like to get
married and have children. She's worried,
however, that a bad bout with food
poisoning a few years ago somehow made her
unable to have children. Can there be any
truth in this? Can a bout with food
poisoning lead to infertility in any
way?

in any way.
