Solution

Stomach ache:

  1. This can be the result of tainted food. Street food is frequently tainted with dangerous microorganisms.
  2. When food products are left uncovered, there is a great likelihood that bacteria may spread.
  3. If the utensils are not thoroughly cleaned, bacteria will find a home there and spread throughout the entire meal.
  4. Boojho felt sick after eating the contaminated food since the flies may have been sitting on it and spreading bacteria that cause disease.
  5. He also claims to have a stomachache.
  6. This opens the door to several excruciating and fatal diseases like dysentery, cholera, diarrhea, etc.
  7. Boojho should start eating smaller meals and taking an antacid or anti-wind medication may help to reduce heartburn or wind.
