Subject: 'Revenge Is a Dish Best Served Cold" (in Your Supermarket
Freezer?)
In two weeks or less, there's been contaminated supermarket-sold
spinach, pies, and now ground beef
http://dallas.injuryboard.com/defective-products/marie-callender-
recalls-frozen-pies-due-to-bacterial-contamination.php?googleid=11130
"This is the most recent of a string of cases where [E. coli]
bacteria, salmonella, botulism and other dangerous bacteria have
caused massive food recalls."
WHY?
I'd bet a majority of the food-processing plants involve employ
(illegal alien?) Mexican workers.
Is it "racist" to equate (illegal alien?) Mexicans with unhygienic
conditions and infectious bacteria when generations of first-hand
experience (and even medical advice) confirm the connection?
American consumers need to exact some revenge of their own for --
"Montezuma's Revenge"!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montezuma's_Revenge_(medicine)
Montezuma's Revenge is the colloquial term for any episodes of
travelers' diarrhea or other sicknesses contracted by tourists
visiting Mexico. The name humorously refers to Moctezuma II
(1466-1520), the Tlatoani (ruler) of the Aztec civilization who was
defeated by Hernán Cortés the Spanish conquistador.
While many gastrointestinal illnesses fall under the umbrella term
"Montezuma's Revenge", approximately 80% of cases are caused by
bacterial infection. The most common organisms are Escherichia
coli, Shigella, and Campylobacter jejuni.
It is likely that [native Mexicans] have developed a tolerance to
these organisms, but they cause sickness in visitors who consume
the same food or liquids.
Symptoms range from mild to severe and may include:
Nausea and vomiting
Diarrhea
Abdominal pain (cramps and colicky pain, strange bowel movements)
Malaise and weakness
Fever
It is estimated that 40% of foreign traveller vacations in Mexico
are disrupted by the infection. Most cases are mild and resolve in
a few days with no treatment. Severe or extended cases, however,
may result in extensive fluid loss and/or dangerous electrolytic
imbalance which pose a severe medical risk and may prove fatal if
mismanaged. The oversight of a medical professional is advised.
To avoid Montezuma's revenge travellers are recommended to avoid
food and drink that can harbor bacteria cultures. Dry, processed,
or cooked foods are safe as long as they have not been handled or
rinsed with local water. Bottled beverages are safe if they come
from a major manufacturer, although ice cubes added to the drink
may make it unsafe -- this depends on the source of the water in
the ice. Fruit drinks pose a risk if they are prepared with
unfiltered water or by fresh squeezing. The traveler should also
refrain from ingesting any water while showering or brushing their
teeth. If the traveler has a significant underlying disease,
antibiotic prophylaxis may be in order while in country.
Antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole
are effective.
Not ALL water supplies in Mexico are contaminated [!!!]--many
hotels have water purification systems that eliminate risk. Certain
resort destinations also have large-scale water purification
systems which provide safe water city-wide. Roadside and popular
food stalls specifically should be avoided.
