|
|
This type of illness is caused by microorganisms such as the salmonella, shigella, and clostridium species, and streptococcus, bacillus, and typhoid fever bacteria. A large percentage of these infections are transmitted by foods that have been allowed to remain at room temperature for a prolonged period of time. The great majority of outbreaks are caused by meat (poultry, particularly turkey) and meat mixtures.
|
Food Borne Infection
|
|
Transmitted by foods, usually from undercooked or semi cooked raw foods, or from foods that have become infected after cooking by persons who are harboring the bacteria. The main source of salmonella infection is from people who do not wash their hands after using the bathroom.
|
Salmonellosis
|
|
Infections such as septic sore throat and scarlet fever are transmitted by contaminated milk and by certain other foods, including meat, meat products, and dressings.
|
Streptococcus
|
|
Typhoid fever is transmitted by milk, shellfish, or water supplies that have become polluted with the urine or feces of a person harboring the organism of this disease.

|
|
A form of liver disease with symptoms of general discomfort. Jaundice, often characterized by skin yellowing, and other signs of liver injury are sometimes present.
|
Infectious Hepatitis
|
|
This type of illness is caused by toxins. Under favorable conditions certain bacteria produce chemical compounds called toxins, which, if ingested, cause food intoxication. Staphylococcus is the most commonly reported food intoxication.
|
Food Borne Intoxication
|
|
Found in the throat, on the skin in pimples and boils, and in great abundance in the postnasal drip of people recovering from colds. Consequently, the most prevalent carrier of food intoxication is foodservice personnel.
|
Staphylococcus
|
|
This disease, usually fatal, is caused by the toxin produced by the rod-shaped bacterium called clostridium botulinum. Botulinum organisms are found in the soil and gain access to foods through contact with soil, dust, and possibly water

|
An illness caused by certain sprays applied to fruits and vegetables which may cause these foods to become poisonous. Be sure all fresh fruits and vegetables are thoroughly washed before you cook them, or before they are eaten raw.
|
Lead and Arsenic Poisonings
|
|
May result from the ingestion of food or water that has been in contact with lead pipes.
|
Lead Poisonings
|
|
