Abstract
Nowadays, it is globally observed that the incidence of food borne diseases is understated, as they are self-curable disease with mostly mild symptoms. As a result, many patients remain undiagnosed without seeking care in health services. In Greece, food borne diseases are the most common infectious diseases declared. There are more than 250 different food borne diseases described, caused either by biological agents (viruses, parasites, bacteria), or by physical and chemical causes. The purpose of this study is twofold: at first is to inform the population with the use of social networks on issues concerning food borne diseases and subsequently, is to create a Facebook page.
