45. CNN - Washing Produce Helps Prevent Food Poisoning - April 30, 1998
    http://www.cnn.com/HEALTH/9804/30/bhn.unwashed.produce/index.html
    
    Extractions: Web posted at: 6:17 p.m. EDT (2217 GMT) From Correspondent Carolyn O'Neil ATLANTA (CNN) When it comes to produce, fresh does not always equal clean. With the average American consuming 300 pounds of fresh produce per year, cleanliness is becoming increasingly important. And often, the kitchen sink is the last line of defense in making sure fruits and vegetables are clean and safe to eat. For consumers, it's important to store fruits and vegetables in the refrigerator when you bring them home from the market. If produce is not stored in refrigerated temperatures, any bacteria in these foods can multiply and certainly make you sick. Wash each piece of fruit carefully, especially if you intend to consume it raw. Although this step will not kill bacteria, it will reduce its numbers. Lettuce leaves should be rinsed individually under cool tap water. Root vegetables should be scrubbed, even if you plan on peeling them later. After all, they were grown underground.

    Extractions: Salmonella food poisoning is a bacterial food poisoning caused by the Salmonella bacterium. It results in the swelling of the lining of the stomach and intestines ( gastroenteritis ). While domestic and wild animals, including poultry, pigs, cattle and pets such as turtles, iguanas, chicks, dogs and cats can transmit this illness, most people become infected by ingesting foods contaminated with significant amounts of Salmonella Description Salmonella food poisoning occurs worldwide, however it is most frequently reported in North America and Europe. Only a small proportion of infected people are tested and diagnosed, and as few as 1% of cases are actually reported. While the infection reate may seem relatively low, even an attack rate of less than 0.5% in such a large number of exposures results in many infected individuals. The poisoning typically occurs in small, localized outbreaks in the general population or in large outbreaks in hospitals, restaurants, or institutions for children or the elderly. In the United States, Salmonella is responsible for about 15% of all cases of food poisoning.

    Extractions: Food poisoning is a general term for health problems arising from eating contaminated food. Food may be contaminated by bacteria, viruses, environmental toxins, or toxins present within the food itself, such as the poisons in some mushrooms. Symptoms of food poisoning usually involve the prompt onset of vomiting and diarrhea . Some toxins also affect the nervous system. Description Classical food poisoning, sometimes incorrectly called ptomaine poisoning, is caused by a variety of different bacteria. The most common are Salmonella Staphylococcus aureus Escherichia coli Shigella , and Clostridium botulinum . Each has a slightly different incubation period and duration, but all except C. botulinum cause inflammation of the intestines and diarrhea. Sometimes food poisoning is called bacterial gastroenteritis or infectious diarrhea. Food and water can also be contaminated by viruses ( cholera ), environmental toxins (heavy metals), and poisons produced within the food itself ( mushroom poisoning or fish and shellfish poisoning Careless food handling creates conditions for the growth of bacteria that make people sick. Food can become contaminated at many different points during its trip from farm to table. Vegetables that are eaten raw, such as lettuce, may be contaminated by bacteria in soil, water, and dust during washing and packing. Home canned and commercially canned food may be improperly processed at too low a temperature or for too short a time to kill the bacteria.

"Food poisoning can be caused by several different bacteria, such as salmonella or botulism," says Dr. Helene Connolly, an emergency physician in Chicago. "Although certain types of food poisoning can be fatal, most cases run their course in a couple of days." According to Dr. Connolly, food poisoning symptoms usually begin from two hours to two days after eating the tainted food. The symptoms are similar to those of the flu and should be treated the same. They include headache, nausea, diarrhea and/or vomiting. However, fever is more likely to occur with the flu. Is food poisoning serious?

Z Contents of this page: Definition Staph aureus food poisoning is an illness that results from eating food contaminated by a toxin produced by the Staphlococcus aureus bacteria. Causes, incidence, and risk factors Staphlococcus aureus food poisoning is often caused when a food handler contaminates food products such as desserts, salads, or baked goods (especially custards, mayonnaise, and cream-filled or topped desserts) that are served or stored at room or refrigerator temperature. The bacteria multiplies rapidly in the food, and a large colony of bacteria may be present without evidence of food spoilage. Risk factors include ingestion of food prepared by a person with a skin infection, ingestion of food kept at room temperature, ingestion of improperly prepared food, and symptoms occurring in persons eating the same food. Symptoms usually appear within 4 to 6 hours. The disease is common in the U.S.
