Lis pendens-food poisoning


The concern of food poisoning are mainly limited to inappropriate handling and preparation of meals at restaurants and at home. In recent years, massive outbreaks of serious illness and death from large-scale contamination of food, such as spinach contaminated with e. Coli, salmonella and carry peanut butter contaminated pet food that later crossed into contamination discovered human foodactually most of us leery about the food they buy and eat.

We cannot, however, simply stop eating, and with very limited capacity of the Government to inspect food coming from abroad, are likely to continue those outbreaks. Of course, food handling, storage and contamination in restaurants and local shops is not removed, but simply added by these concerns of large-scale.

The Centers for disease control (CDC) estimates that there are about 76 million cases of food poisoning in the United States each year, with approximately 5,000 resulting in death. Usually we think of food poisoning as a disease caused by bacteria, but can also be harmful or deadly when food contaminated with virus from infected food handlers, chemicals and even foreign objects.

Food can be contaminated when bacteria are carried by a person, animal, or other food preparation surface, because of poor hygiene or inappropriate food handling practices. Improper storage can cause food to spoil, and failure to fully Cook the food can also cause food poisoning.

E Coli

There are many strains of e Coli. All this is not harmful, but some are lethal. E Coli bacteria from faeces. Can contaminate foods during storage and preparation by human hands, utensils, packing or preparation surfaces. Undercooked meat is a common source because meat comes in contact with droppings in the process of slaughter. E Coli can reach producing fields through contaminated irrigation water, animals afodeysis in fields and improper fertilization methods.

Salmonella

Undercooked poultry is the most commonly known source of salmonella poisoning. Salmonella is allocated among poultry to a large extent due to the poor conditions in which the birds are affected. Bacteria can be killed by cooking meat to temperatures above 150 degrees, and proper refrigeration controls development. Cross-contamination of other food is a common result handling poor food and lack of cleanliness.

Staphylococcus aureus

Mayonnaise-based foods are a common source of food poisoning, and is a common misconception that salmonella is the culprit. In fact, bacteria called staphylococcus aureus is the underlying issue. Located in the skin, nose and respiratory passages around half of all people, and not the bacteria that causes the disease, but a toxin produced by bacteria as it grows. The same bacteria can be destroyed by cooking, but it is not possible toxin. Most foods containing mayonnaise, potato salad and Cole slaw, is cooked. Good hand washing and cooling is necessary to prevent this type of food poisoning.

Botulism

Very rare, but very deadly botulism, kills around 30% of the victims. Canned foods are the most common source. Boiling food for 10 minutes, will kill the bacteria.
