Health Prose: A One-Minute Update for Your Health Food Poisoning: Protect Yourself University of Iowa Health Science Relations and Phyllis Stumbo, Ph.D Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed The warmth of the summer sun can do wonders for your spirits, but it can also promote the growth of dangerous bacteria in food. You can keep the good memories of summer picnics by preventing food poisoning and the symptoms that could upset your summer fun. Food poisoning symptoms include diarrhea, vomiting, stomach ache, and possibly fever. Most cases of food poisoning are mild and don't require hospitalization. However, if symptoms last for more than two or three days, or if you have a number of the symptoms, see your doctor, "The most important thing to do is to drink plenty of liquids so you don't become dehydrated. Using a sports drink that contains water, salt, and sugar can help keep liquid in the body," says Dr. Phyllis Stumbo, research nutritionist at the University of Iowa College of Medicine. Common food poisoning bacteria include salmonella, most often found in meat and eggs that have not been thoroughly cooked; E. coli bacteria, found in meat and dairy products that have not been thoroughly cooked or pasteurized; and botulism, found in improperly canned vegetables.

Index Food Poisoning: Botulism What is botulism? Botulism is a severe type of food poisoning. It occurs when you eat food that contains a poison produced by a type of bacteria called Clostridium botulinum. Botulism can be a fatal disease. The poison produced by the bacteria can damage important nerves of the body and cause paralysis. If botulism is not treated promptly, breathing can stop, causing death. How does it occur? Botulism occurs when the poison produced by Clostridium botulinum bacteria is eaten. It may happen when you eat food that has not been canned or preserved properly. Botulism can also occur in wounds, but this is rare. It happens when the bacteria grow in a wound.

La Casa De Comida In the Kitchen Food Safety - Food Poisoning Food Poisoning When you consider the number of meals consumed, the chances of getting food poisoning are really quite low. Nevertheless, it seems that food poisoning is on the increase around the world. In the USA there are about 10,000 needless deaths from food poisoning each year. On top of this, there are a further 50 million non-fatal cases of food poisonong. Before the days of refrigeration, when much more preparation and processing of food occurred at home, people were more aware of the dangers of food poisoning. However shoddy handwashing and poor attention to hygiene don't give us the whole picture of why food poisoning is on the increase in the developed world. With the increase of mass food production, the need for increased storage time; difficulty of maintaining suitable temperatures during transport; changes in the methods of food-processing all magnify the risk of contamination. Another reason may be that doctors are looking for and reporting it, whereas once it went unreported. What Causes Food Poisoning?

Species are known being unicellular, other algae may grow up to 20 to 30 meters of length. Algae serve as food for marine animals, they may be used as ingredients such as the production of agar agar, used in food, in drugs, as basis for bacteriological medias and is used in many other ways. Chlorophyll is often hidden by yellow, brown,blue and red pigments.This gave the origin to a classification of algae in Xantophyceae, Cyanophyceae or Rodophyceae. Algae produce starch, mannite, leucosine and oil. Algae are generally inhabitants of water. Algae adapted to life in contact with air are found on the surface of rocks, on the bark of trees and at soil. In extreme cases they may survive at 70 C (Cyanophyceae). Algae are an important factor of regeneration of water and treatment of drinking water. Microscopical identification of algae is used in the characterisation of quality of water. Algae are important part of marine plankton serving as food for a variety of aquatic animals. Chlorella pyrenoidosa, unicellular alga was studied as a possible food.

Approximately 325,000 people are hospitalized each year due to some form of food poisoning. There are approximately 250 known foodborne pathogens or agents (Bacteria, Parasites, Viruses) that are the common cause of infection. When you prepare food for yourself and your family remember to: Wash your hands with soap and water before and after handling any type of food. Wash all fruit and vegetables before consuming them. Make sure that all food is thoroughly cooked. Properly clean all utensils and appliances after you have used them. Clean and disinfect all food prep areas before and after you use this space. People who are infected with foodborne germs may have no symptoms or develop symptoms ranging from mild intestinal discomfort to diarrhea, to severe dehydration. The five most common foodborne illnesses are: Botulism Campylobacteriosis Escherichia coli (E-coli) Salmonellosis / Salmonella ... Shigellosis / Bacillary Dysentery Rare but serious illness caused by botulinum toxin (poison). It affects the nerves and if untreated it can cause possible paralysis or life threatening complications. There are approximately 10-30 cases reported every year from this, infection.

To date, around 250 different food-borne diseases have been described, and bacteria are the causative agents of two thirds of food-borne disease outbreaks. Among the predominant bacteria involved in these diseases, Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of gastroenteritis resulting from the consumption of contaminated food. Staphylococcal food poisoning is due to the absorption of staphylococcal enterotoxins preformed in the food. Here, we briefly review the latest data on staphy-lococcal enterotoxins and some papers exemplifying the interactions between S. aureus and the food matrix; environmental factors affecting staphylococcal enterotoxin production are discussed.

Health and Safety Tips Ground Meat and Food Poisoning What? Food poisoning generally refers to illnesses caused by eating food contaminated with microorganisms (bacteria, parasites, viruses). America loves its burgers, but ground meat, whether beef or poultry, presents certain health hazards. During the summer of 1997 over 25 million pounds of ground beef had to be destroyed after an E. coli outbreak. The culprit was a bacterium called Escherichia coli (E. coli) 0157:H7. E. coli causes damage to the lining of the intestine often resulting in severe, bloody diarrhea and abdominal cramps. Usually little or no fever is present, and the illness lasts about one week. Children younger than age five and the elderly are particularly vulnerable, because the infection can also cause a life-threatening complication called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), in which the red blood cells are destroyed and the kidneys fail. E. coli 0157:H7 is found in the intestinal tract and feces of both animals and man. It can be transmitted in various ways: animal to animal, animal to person, animal to person on food, and person to person through close contact. E. coli outbreaks also have been traced to undercooked roast beef, raw milk, improperly processed cider, contaminated water and mayonnaise, and vegetables grown in cow manure. Consumers can protect themselves with sensible food storage and cooking habits. That means COOL IT, CLEAN UP and COOK IT.

The woman's death created a minor stir with the residents of Nandanavanam Colony, where she used to stay, alleging that the unhygienic conditions in the locality had led to her death. However, officials hastened to deny the allegations, saying that Lakshmi had gone around the area, collecting food from different houses. The stale food had set off non-stop vomiting among other complications, which led to her death, they said. An L.B. Nagar municipal official said Lakshmi was taken to a medical camp in Nandanavanam colony on Sunday evening, from where she was referred to the Fever Hospital in Nallakunta. However, she died on the way. The delay in reaching the hospital could have accelerated death, he said.

Another group of endocrine interrupting pesticides are organophosphates, first developed in Germany during World War II and known as nerve gas. By 1947, organophoshates were used in varying strengths to control insects worldwide. These chemicals work by interrupting messages to nerve transmitters.

HGIC 3601 http://hgic.clemson.edu Traveling With Food foodborne illness . Packing and storing food with food safety in mind can prevent this vacation disaster, and it is not that difficult. Just remember the "Five Rules of Traveling with Food." PLAN AHEAD A well-stocked cooler is a must! Have plenty of ice or frozen gel-packs on hand before you start packing. PACK SAFELY Pack perishables directly from the refrigerator to the cooler. You can pack meat and poultry while it is still frozen. It will thaw during the trip, extending its safety and shelf life. A full cooler will maintain its cold temperature longer than one that is only partially filled. Pack the remaining space with more ice or with fruit and non- perishable foods. Securely wrap or bag foods that may drip or leak, particularly raw meat, poultry or fish. Keep these from contact with ready-to-eat foods or beverages. PRESERVE THE COLD Put the cooler in the passenger section of the car instead of in the hot trunk. Frequently opening the cooler will cause the inside temperature to decrease. Preserve the cold temperature of the cooler by replenishing the ice as soon as it starts melting. PITCH THE WARM Pitch any foods that warm above refrigerator temperature (40 °F).
