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

sneezing and coughing on food. It can also
cause pimples and boils.

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.
