3 people have died in the last few days in various areas of Italy from sausage. At the same time, many others are hospitalized in hospitals in the country, with some of them in serious condition.
A few weeks ago, citizens of different regions of Italy began to have symptoms of sausage. At the center of the outbreaks stood the Diamanda tourist town on the coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea. In this area, 2 people were killed in this area.
The first victim was one 52 -year -old tourist who allegedly ate sandwiches from canteen. The man felt unwell, got first aid from a private clinic and then returned home. A few days later, his health deteriorated and as a result he was frustrated before he could go to the hospital again.
The second man who lost his life was a 45 -year -old who also felt unwell after consumption As a result, she goes to the hospital and a little later losing the battle for her life.
In the same area, About 12 people are hospitalized, with 2 of them in serious condition.
The 3rd and last victim was Roberta Pungalis. The 38 -year -old seems to have eaten Guacamole during a festival in the Kaliari area.
The 38 -year -old was the first to be transferred to the hospital with symptoms of sausage. She was hospitalized by the end of July and her condition was serious but stable. After complications she presented, unfortunately she left her last breath.
A total of 12 people are hospitalized in Calabria and 8 in Sardinia, including one 11 -year -old and a 14 -year -old.
Recall of suspicious food from the Ministry of Health
In Montheratoo, the wakhamole used for tacos has been under control. Specifically, two lots have been revoked by the Ministry of Health because of the possible presence of allantoxin
Authorities believe that the component of Guakamole may be behind the cause of poisoning.
In contrast to Calabria, those poisoned had eaten Sandwich with broccoli and sausage.
The prosecutor’s office ordered the immediate seizure of the broccoli, which is believed to have caused poisoning, says unionesarda.it.
For the death of the 38 -year -old, he has been accused of The owner of the canteen was negligent. The prosecutor will order the coroner to carry out a necropsy on her body to clarify the causes of her death.
The prosecutor has put 3 people under investigation. Among them is the employee who allegedly sold the infected product from his truck and the legal representatives of 2 companies allegedly supplied these foods.
From the survey it turned out that The canteen was all day under the suna situation that could have favored the proliferation of sausages in vulnerable products, especially if they were not properly stored.
The research also focuses on the private clinic at Belvedere Maritimo, where the victims had gone after the first symptoms, but it seems to be did not receive the necessary treatment. The lack of early diagnosis exacerbated their clinical course.
What is and what is causing meal.
Bullying is a rare and severe paralytic disease, caused by one of the most powerful, known poisons: allantootoxin (or allergies toxin).
A man can lose his life by consuming just 1 to 2 million gram (micrograms or µg). A gram of sausage toxin can kill 10 million people!
Allantootoxin is produced by a bacterium called the Clostridium botulinum. They may also be produced by 2 other bacteria strains, which is related to Clostridium butyricum and Clostridium baratii.
Bullying can be caused by the consumption of contaminated foods (foodogenic, infant, intestinal) or by infection of a wound.
It can also be caused by the inhalation of aerosol with toxin or by a medical error (if the allantootoxin used for medical or aesthetic purposes is accidentally infused in the bloodstream instead of the therapeutic target).
OR food generous sausage In humans it is a form of heavy food poisoning. Caused when the sausage spinning is developed and produces toxin In a food, which is then consumed without preceding proper cooking to destroy the toxin.
This usually happens in Foods inappropriately prepared or cannedwith low salt or sugar content. They also usually have low acidity.
But can also be observed in pasteurized or slightly cooked foods, which have not been frozenespecially when in airtight packaging.
The World Health Organization (which) states that sausing toxin has been found among other things in:
1. Low acthened vegetables, such as green beans, spinach, mushrooms, beetroot
2. Fish, such as canned tone, fermented fish, paste, smoked
3. Main -preserved meat products, such as ham, sausages
As the DIPY explains, the particularly dangerous are the cannedespecially when we make them at home. Because e.g. The seeds of the germ are located in the soilcan infect vegetables. If the canning is not properly prepared and sterilized, toxin may be developed.
Infected canned cans may show swelling from the gases and their contents are spoiled.
Another possible source is the honeywhich may contain germ seeds. Studies report honey consumption as a predisposing factor of infant botulism. Therefore, allagening is the reason why infants are directive not to consume honey until they complete their first year of life, Iatropedia.gr reports.
The good news is that Bullying toxin is destroyed with boiling. But it needs boiling at 85 degrees Celsius, for 5 minutes or more. The spores of the splash are needed more time and a higher temperature to be destroyed. Boiling at 120 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes or more.
Bullying causes many different symptoms. Among the first are included:
- Diplopia (the patient sees double idols)
- Blurred vision
- Eyelashes
- Shortness (speaking slowly)
- Dismissal (difficult to swallow)
- Dry mouth (dries his mouth)
- Muscle weakness
The patient may also have vertigo. Other coexisting symptoms may be gastrointestinal disorders, such as nausea, vomiting, constipation or more rarely diarrhea. However, patients have no fever or loss of consciousness.
Neurological symptoms are the result of muscle paralysis caused by sausage toxin. Paralysis of the respiratory muscles can be fatal if not treated in time with mechanical breathing support.
Baby infants can develop constipation, difficulty breastfeeding, inability to contain the head and respiratory failure.
