Perché non devi mai mangiare cibo crudo

by Zeina Ayache Salmonellosis, the infection that hides in raw food and is caused by bacteria of the Salmonella genus. Vomiting, diarrhea, stomach and abdominal cramps and pain: the danger is in the home, but we don't know it. It's in the refrigerator, but we can't see it, contaminating our food, and when it enters our bodies, it triggers a completely preventable infection. We're talking about Salmonella, a genus of bacteria responsible for Salmonellosis. Salmonellosis is an infection of the digestive tract that presents with specific symptoms. It is mainly caused by the ingestion of contaminated raw food and is caused, in its most common form, by the bacteria Salmonella enteritidis and Salmonella typhimurium. Salmonellosis is transmitted via the fecal-oral route, essentially by ingesting food contaminated with infected feces (from animals or humans) that, to the eye and smell, appear to be normal. This is why the risk extends to raw meat, eggs, raw or unpasteurized milk, as well as vegetables, fruit, and ice cream. Symptoms of Salmonellosis Salmonellosis appears within 6 to 72 hours of ingesting contaminated food and causes symptoms such as stomach and abdominal pain, vomiting, cramps, fever, diarrhea, or constipation that can last up to a week. The infection generally resolves on its own and, in some cases, is even asymptomatic. It is recommended not to use treatments that stop diarrhea, as that is the primary means of expelling germs. However, it is important to constantly rehydrate and take lactic acid bacteria. What can we do to avoid salmonellosis? Salmonellosis is a preventable infection: simply cooking food is enough to render the bacteria harmless. However, be careful: this effect is eliminated if, to eat the food, we then use cutlery that was previously used to prepare the food and then cook it. Therefore, we must wash the knives and forks we use for raw foods every time. As for eggs, bacteria nest on the shells; the advice in this case is to wash them before breaking them and not consume them raw or undercooked. In general, always remember to wash your hands thoroughly before cooking, when you're finished, and before eating. And wash all food before eating. Furthermore, be careful to keep food separated and protected in your refrigerator to avoid contamination, and remember to always keep it clean. http://youmedia.fanpage.it/video/ag/X...
