Anyone who has dealt with food poisoning knows it’s an experience no one wants to repeat. There’s no exact way to predict how long food poisoning will last, but there are ways to make the recovery process go smoother. This can come from eating food left out too long at room temperature, along with undercooked and raw food. Children, on the other hand, should use an oral rehydration solution such as Pedialyte to ease food poisoning symptoms. Older adults and those with a weakened immune system should see a doctor immediately for food poisoning treatment.

CNN —One person has died and eight people have been hospitalized after an outbreak of botulism in a restaurant in the French city of Bordeaux, according to a statement from France’s public health body on Wednesday. It is thought that the diners ate sardines in a home-made oil preserve, which was contaminated with botulism bacteria. They all dined at the Tchin Tchin wine bar from September 4 to September 10, Public Health France said. France’s public health agency has warned anyone who visited the restaurant and has shown any symptoms of botulism to immediately seek medical help. CNN has reached out to the Bordeaux prosecutor and Tchin Tchin wine bar for comment.

The therapy, Rebyota, targets Clostridium difficile, or C. difficile – a superbug responsible for infections that can cause serious and life-threatening diarrhea. While this is the first such therapy approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for recurrent C. difficile infections, fecal microbiota transplants – classified by the regulator as investigational – have long been the standard of care in the U.S. for this condition. Approval for the therapy comes on the back of a positive vote from the regulator's advisers in September, as most on the panel sought standardization of the therapy. Ferring, which gained the therapy through its 2018 purchase of U.S.-based Rebiotix Inc, was not immediately available for a comment on pricing and availability of the therapy. Besides Ferring, other companies including Seres Therapeutics (MCRB.O), which is developing an oral treatment, are working on similar therapies based on fecal microbiota transplantation.

Cahul s-a stabilit un adevărat cârd de lebede, locul devenind o adevărată atracție pentru Cahuleni. Multe persoane, din dorința de a ajuta păsărele sălbatice, le hrănesc cu pâine, și nu ăși dau seama că aceasta poate dăuna păsărilor. Lebedele sunt mult mai calme însă atunci când li se oferă boabe de cereale, varză, salată sau mazăre. Această mâzgă este un mediu bun de creștere pentru o ciupercă, Chrysonilia sitophila provenită tot din pâine pe care păsările o transferă cu ciocul pe pene, vârfurile aripilor în special putând căpăta culoarea roz (culoarea ciupercii). În locul pâinii (sau al chipsurilor, biscuiților, pufuleților), cei ce doresc să ajute lebedele și rațele, le pot hrăni cu semințe de grâu, orez, ovăz, struguri, mazăre verde decongelată, râme, salată sau alte legume mărunțite.

☆ Домашние соленья и консервы могут быть опасны для жизни

Зимой заготовки позволяют нам не только почувствовать вкус овощей, ягод и фруктов, но и помогают сохранить избыток урожая. Консервы, будь они собственного или промышленного производства, позволяют почувствовать вкус овощей, фруктов и ягод, и получить дозу необходимых микроэлементов и витаминов. Однако, при неправильной заготовке или хранении засоленные продукты и варенья могут стать опасными для жизни. Чаще всего это происходит из-за недостаточной противомикробной обработки и нарушения условий хранения. Это вещество поражает моторные нейроны передних рогов спинного мозга, из-за чего у пациентов наступает паралич мышц и развивается дыхательная недостаточность.
