Paralysis can be simply defined as the loss of strength in the control of muscle or group of muscles. There are different degrees of paralysis, which are partial, complete, permanent, facial, spastic, and others. There is a lot of food in which we consumed, which may contain a toxin that harms the brain and nervous system.

Food toxins are among the major cause of paralysis. Examples of food that cause paralysis include unripe lychee and Ackee fruit, which cause acute encephalopathy if much is consumed and it also causes death.

Cassava and grass pea are another food that causes paralysis by causing crippling paralysis. Paralysis is most common in improvised countries because food like lychee and ackee is very popular. Lastly, there is food that can cause botulism, especially when food is not properly cleaned.

With many medical conditions, the cause of it can be easily attributed to the foods that we intake. This same idea goes to paralysis. There are many food products that lead to conditions in humans. For those with the acute condition of paralysis, it can be attributed to fruits such as ackee and lychee. For those with the type of paralysis that is crippling to the body, it can be attributed to foods such as cassava. These types of foods are more popular in impoverished countries, which is why the condition of paralysis is popular in those types of countries.

There are some food products that can actually cause paralysis in humans. For example, lychee and ackee are known to be fruits that can cause acute illness, especially when it would be taken in large quantities. There are also some reports that consuming too much cassava can cause a type of crippling paralysis that people may not realize is happening until they are already experiencing it. These are food products that are normally available in some poor countries. These are the foods that they normally consume, and they can be bad for their health. There are also some food products that can cause botulism, especially if the food was not properly cleaned.
