'''Food poisoning''' is acquired by [[eat]]ing an old corpse. It is marked by the text <code>FoodPois</code> on the status line. It is eventually fatal, but can be cured by doing one of the following:

Food poisoning is completely preventable (in [[NetHack]]) by avoiding eating old corpses. Corpses left by zombies and other undead are always considered old. Unfortunately, you never know how long it takes for a corpse to become old.
