Chernivtsi: Memo for the population for the prevention of botulism
Botulism, acute poisoning caused by Clostridium botulinum and its toxin, which is found in improperly prepared and stored canned. The disease is registered everywhere, except in areas of permafrost. The presence of botulinum toxin in foods does not alter their organoleptic properties. The causative agents of botulism are widely distributed in nature. Vegetative forms and spores are in the intestines of various domestic and especially wild animals, water birds, and fish. Getting into the environment (soil, silt of lakes and rivers), the spores are long stored and accumulated. Almost all food products contaminated with soil or the contents of the intestines of animals, birds, fish can contain spores or vegetative forms of causative agents of botulism. However? the disease can occur only in the use of those that were stored under anaerobic or close to anaerobic conditions, without sufficient pre-heat treatment. It can be canned food, especially home cooked, smoked and dried meat and fish products, as well as other products, which are conditions for the development of vegetative forms of pathogens and takinobori. This files most often recorded diseases associated with the use of mushrooms home canning, smoked or dried fish, meat and sausage products, canned legumes. These products often cause group, "family" outbreaks. If the infected solid-phase product (sausage, smoked meat, fish), then it is possible the so-called "alopecia" infection with the causative agents of botulism and toxins formation. Therefore, there are cases of botulism where not all individuals who consumed one product, get sick. Currently dominated by diseases caused by poisoning by toxins A, b or E. Thus, the main route of transmission is food, due to the use of canned at home food. Prevention of botulism is the main observance of purity of raw materials. Therefore, the cleaner washed the vegetables before canning, the more washed out the fish in front of the Ambassador, the smaller the probability of hitting the product of the causative agent of botulism. The fish in front of Ambassador to the home must be free from viscera, rinse thoroughly with outer and inner surfaces. Mushrooms are difficult to release from the microparticles of the soil, so it is not recommended to preserve them in sealed jars at home When home canning, particularly of vegetables that contain little natural acid you need to add the recipe acetic, citric acid, because the causative agent of botulism does not like an acidic environment It is important to sterilize jars and lids directly before placing into their products . When preserving at home, especially meat and fish products, it is necessary to tindale (within two days to heat at a temperature of 100°C for 5 minutes to move the dispute in the vegetative form), and then sterilize the cans at a temperature of 100°C – not less than 40-60 minutes, followed by a sealed package. The slightest swelling of the lid — the reason for categorical refusal from eating the contents of this banks. To prevent food poisoning, observe the following recommendations: – to take on the road and on vacation perishables; – perishable foods to be stored in the refrigerator and be sure to adhere to the deadlines for their implementation; – carefully boil, simmer and rosmawati foods, especially canned, immediately before use. Leftovers the next day before use, be sure to boil or stew during the cooking process developed by separate tools (knives, boards) – raw and boiled foods during the cooking process developed by separate tools (knives, boards) – to protect food products and food raw materials from accidental contamination, store them in a sealed container; Management of Demirtzoglou in the city advises – do not buy foods in natural markets from the hands of private persons. In the case of the first signs of food poisoning (weakness, fever, nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, etc.) do not self-medicate, and urgently contact the nearest medical institution for help of the medical staff. This was reported in the Chernivtsi city Council.Ïåðåâåäåíî ñåðâèñîì "ßíäåêñ.Ïåðåâîä÷èê": translate.yandex.ru.
