A HEALTH SERVICE OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA FOOD POISONING Food has played an important role in history. A lack of food has been a factor in revolutions; the cry of the hungry masses for bread was heard in both Rome and Paris and has been re-echoed in most cities. A deficiency in the quality of food caused scurvy which decimated armies and navies. Tainted foods have caused many an epidemic of national significance. “Food poisoning” is a term which should, be restricted to the ingestion of such poisons as arsenic in food. “Food infection”, or intoxication, is a better term to express the condi­ tion which results from the -use of foods contaminated with certain bac­ teria and their products. The usual history is that from two to six hours after eating, occasionally delayed for as long as twenty-four hours, there is abdominal pain, vomit­ ing, chilliness, prostration, diarrhoea and fever. These symptoms occurring among a majority of people who have partaken of the same food, the symp­ toms described are attributed to the food. Spoiled meat, or ptomaine, the toxic product of decomposition, used to be blamed. We now recognize that true ptomaine poisoning rarely, if ever, oc­ curs, be Cctttsc no otic yould ent niOcit I cn as to contain ptomaines, cause lies in the food eaten, is really the bacteria present food which do the harm. should include having all food prepar­ ed by healthy people who are clean­ ly in their habits; food utensils should be scrupulously clean; prepared foods, such as salads, should be kept covered and on ice until used. Botulism is a food toxaemia; it diff­ ers from the food infection in that the symptoms are caused by the ac­ tion-of the toxin or poison prod-uced by the bacillus botulinus. This toxin, one of the most powerful known, giv­ es rise to marked and alarming nerv­ ous manifestations: disturbance of vision; inability to speak; muscular weakness; there is no fever. Usual sources of botulism are pork, sausage and, in this country, home- canned vegetables. Unfortunately, however, the toxin is destroyed by heat, so that protection can be assur­ ed by the simple process of boiling all canned foods, particularly the home-prepared variety, immediately before use. It need hardly be added that bulged cans should be discarded, as should be canned foods that show gas formation or evidence of spoiling. Questions concerning health, ad- for, are so rot The but it in the when taken into the body, they capable of producing disease. If the animal from which the food was rived WAS diseased, the food may be contaminated with bacteria, General­ ly, however, the food is contaminated during its preparation, or while it is standing around before beipg used. Different groups of bacteria may be responsible for an outbreak of food infection. Measures of protection de' dressed to the Canadian Association, 184 College St., Toronto, will be an­ swered personally by letter.
