- BACTERIAL diseases account for
2/3 of foodborne illness. Most
have some GI Symptoms up to 72
hours, and few have fever.
- SALMONELLA has 1,600 serotypes but only
50 of them are common. It is carried in
reptiles, such as turtles and iguanas, as
well as baby chicks. Salmonella does not
multiply if the pH is < 4.
- STAPHYLOCCUS AUERUS is very acute and
self-limiting, unless you are already immune
compromised. It is found on foods not cooked
a second time, such as salad bars, from
sneezing and coughing on food. It can also
cause pimples and boils.
- CLOSTRIDIUM PERFRINGES is also known as
the "cafeteria germ". It is a spore forming
bacteria.
- CLOSTRIDIAM BOTULISM is also a spore
forming bacteria that releases a delay
neurotoxin. Years ago the culprit for this
disease was home canning, such as in Alaska
where they preserved seal blubber and whale
meat in vats of oil which set up aerobic
conditions. This is where the highest rates of
botulism are found.

It is mostly found in shellfish, but is also
found in milk and orange juice. A
vaccine is available.
- NOROVIUS is waterborne or person
to person spread. It is the largest
outbreak of waterborne agents and
is found on cruise ships.
- MULTI-VIRUSES can infect foods.
- HEPATITIS A is person to person spread.
It is mostly found in shellfish, but is also
found in milk and orange juice. A
vaccine is available.
- PARASITIC WORMS
- TRICHNOSIS is caused by the trichina

- PORK
- Eggs go to the brain
(incubation 25-30 yrs)

- BEEF
- FISH tapeworms have a high incidence
