PROPER COOKING I
KILLS MENACING
POISON IN FOODS
i i
BY DRF. VT. TA-YER
(Associate Professor of Bactenol
; ogy of University of Illinois.)
' All home canned foods should be
thoroughly cooked before serving.
Comparatively recent investigations
show that botulism, an acute food
poisoning, may result from foods
put np under the so-called "cold-
. pack" process, unless the canned
goods are carefully sterilized.
'. Botulism is an acute poisoning
caused by . eating food In .which
bacillus botllinus has been grow
ing. The sickness was first observ
ed In people1 who had eaten partly
decayed sausage. It is now known,
however, that the poisoning does
not always result from the eating
of sausage, but that it may be con
nected with home canned string
beans; peas, corn, asparagus, etc.
The Immediate cause of botulism is
, a powerful poison or toxin which
is formed by bacillus botulinus in
the cans. When canned foods con
taining this poison are eaten, very
severe symptoms result.
: Professor Dickson of the Uni
versity of California reports very
briefly the following case, which
emphasizes the important charac
teristics of the disease: "On Friday
Mrs. H. tasted a small portion of
a bean pod from a Jar of home
canned string beans. The beans
had a peculiarly irritating taste,
but ehe swallowed a small amount.
The beans were placed on the stove
to cook and gave off such a foul odor
that they were discarded. On Sat
urday Mrs. H. was dizzy when she
got out of bed and staggered when
she walked. By afternoon visions
were blurred in both eyes and a
physcian was called. She stated
that there bad been no pain nor
gastro-intestinal disturbances and
that she bad not been nauseated.
"Examination showed a dilation
of both pupils and a pulse rate of
100 per minute. After midnight
the patient complained that her
tongue was swollen and she began
to have difficulty in speaking. On
Sunday morning there was a droop
ing of the upper eyelids from pa
ralysis and beginning difficulty in
swallowing. Speech rapidly be
came unintelligible and vomiting
commenced. Toward Sunday eve
ning the temperature approached
102 with a pulse rate varying be
tween 98 and 120. The patient be
came rapidly weaker with an in
creased pulse rate and died Tuesday
morning about 8S hours after eat
ing the beans."
It should not be inferred that
home packed foods are always dan
gerous or that canned foods which
have spoiled contain this powerful
poison. However, if it is known
that 'Such foods may cause this
trouble, greater care may be taken
in preparing the food. Numerous
instances are recorded where the
housewife merely tasted of the
food. The poison is yery quickly
destroyed by boiling.
