(Debbie Davidson photo) Dramatic increase offood poisoning There has been a dramatic increase in this arca over the past two weeks of a type . of food poisoning called E. Coli. Dr. Murray McQuigge, area Medical Officer of Health, warns people that the risk of food __poisoning_ increases_.during the summer months. Of particular con- cern . is the occurrence of verocytoxin-producing E. Coli, also. known as "hamburger disease". Normally, this health unit will investigate a sporadic number of these cases throughout the year. However, there have been nine cases reported within a two-week period. These cases have not been linked to a common food source, but Dr. McQuigge warns consumers that the bacteria is out there. Be cautious handling and cooking your meat. Recently, the western United States experienced an outbreak of "hamburger disease". Two children died, and more than 150 others became infected after eating ham- burgers at a chain of restaurants. The disease is caused by a bac- teria which produces a poison or toxin that irritates the lining of the intestine. While most people recover from the infection within two weeks, in a very small number of cases the E. Coli toxin results in a serious, sometimes fatal, complication called Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome or HUS. This illness affects the kidneys and blood and is especially dangerous to young children and the ,elderly. Symptoms include severe stomach cramps, and diarrhea (which may be bloody). Dehydration and fever may . • be present. Symptoms may last seven to_10-da-yc The -bacteria has -.been found in . pork, beef and poultry products. In most cases, human infection has bden linked to under- cooked meat and unpasteurized milk. Ground meat' . is particularly hazardous because the bacteria, which contaminate cut meat sur- faces during butchering,are distributed throughout the meat during the grinding process. To protect against E. Coli infection as well as infection from other food poisoning bacteria such as Sal- monella, Campylobacter and Yer-, sinia, food should be handled in the following manner: • refrigerate or freeze meats as soon as possible after buying • thaw frozen meat in the refrigerator, not at room temperature, or defrost in microwave • always wash hands before handling food, after handling raw meat and after using the bathroom • prepare raw hamburger patties or other meat quickly, then cook right away or put in the refrigerator; don't let raw meat sit out • wash dishes, utensils, cutting boards and counters with hot, soapy water after using them to prepare raw meat; this prevents germs from raw meat getting into other foods.
