Be cautious to eat pizza

For once, I am quite pleased that I cannot eat pizza. Moreover, I’m absolutely not eating Totino’s and Jeno’s frozen pizzas! The lastest news in disease outbreaks is E.coli in humans in the midwest and northeastern states. The outbreak occurred in October 2007 and all of the victims have one thing in common: they’ve all seemed to have eaten pepperonis from Totino’s or Jeno’s pizzas.

CDC reports on the latest E.coli outbreak. E.coli has been of concern in the last two decades. We’ve heard about Jack in the Box and its share of the disease. It has been discovered in Taco Bell as well. E.coli 0157:H7 is a strain of bacterium Escherichia coli. The bacteria can be found in the intestines of healthy cattles, sheep, deer and goats. Ground beef, raw milk, or other parts of the animal that are commonly eaten by humans may be contaminated in various ways. However, cooking meat until it is well done will sufficiently kill the bacteria and protect you from becoming ill. Symptoms include severe bloody diahrrea and abdominal cramps. These symptoms can take place as quickly as 3-4 days after consumption.
