Adak et al. (2002) reported that deaths due to C. perfringens (type A) food poisoning are rare but may occur in the elderly and debilitated. It is estimated to kill seven people in the USA, and between 50 and 100 people in UK yearly. Asha and Wilcox (2002) reported that the first C. perfringens…

Botulinum Toxin is categorized as a neurotoxin. Having a fatal dose of merely one to two micrograms it is considered one of the most lethal neurological agents known. The toxin is a microbial product synthesized by an anaerobic, gram-positive, spore-forming bacteria Clostridium botulinum whose natural habitat is soil (Qiagen). There are seven antigenically distinguishable exotoxins differentiated by the use of the prefix BoNT followed by the letters A-G. Although each has a slightly different…

Dr. Drake works at the University of Georgia in the school of Ecology. He is a trained freshwater Biologist. Over the last 15 years he has discovered that through Ecology we can affect the science of many different heads. Environmental planning policy and how to provide science education in a way that is more conducive for students to learn are just some examples. The emergence and spread of new infections diseases is something Dr. Drake has become most interested in in the last 10 years. Dr…

ever lower than or higher than these temperatures so this made sense. Another thing I was curious about was how mold spread. One way mold can spread is through spores.

Spores are not necessarily something we can prevent because they are everywhere. The last thing I questioned about mold were the health effects it could cause.…
