Article: The first and most important thing that needs to be done in any case of food poisoning is to increase the fluid intake. It is easier for the toxins to get flushed out of your system if your water intake is good. Vomiting and diarrhea are the common symptoms in food poisoning and these lead to fluid loss, so it is important to drink water and other fluids to avoid dehydration. Adults should try to drink at least 16 cups of water a day. Food poisoning causes vomiting and diarrhea, which are natural bodily functions that work to dispel the poison from the body. Eating solid foods will cause more vomiting and diarrhea, so it's best to avoid eating until you are feeling better. It should go without saying that you should avoid eating the food that caused the poisoning. If you aren't sure what caused it, forgo eating anything that hasn't been freshly prepared right before you consume it. Throw away any suspect food. If you get tired of subsisting on broth and soup, eat plain foods that won't upset your stomach, like bananas, plain boiled white rice or dry toast. Only start eating after the active vomiting stage of your food poisoning. Herbal tea, especially mint tea, contains properties that calm the stomach. Try drinking a few cups of peppermint tea to stay hydrated and reduce your nausea. Ginger ale and lemon or lime soda can also help with rehydration, and the carbonation helps to settle your stomach. Avoid having coffee, alcohol, and any other fluids that cause dehydration. If you're losing a lot of nutrients through excess vomiting and diarrhea, buy an electrolyte solution from a pharmacy to replace them. Gatorade or Pedialyte will work fine, too. This method works best for adults, but not for small children. You'll probably feel weak and tired after going through the symptoms of food poisoning. Sleep as much as you need to to help your body recover faster. Over-the-counter medications meant to prevent diarrhea and vomiting can actually slow your recover by impeding the natural functions that eliminate the source of the food poisoning.

Times will vary depending on the precise heat of your water, but jello usually melts within a few minutes. Once the gelatin is dissolved into the water, pour in your vodka. Use a mixing spoon to stir in the vodka until you have an even, consistent mixture. Pick a measuring cup that has a tip on the end. This helps you pour the gelatin mixture into your shots.
