Did you know that if you put garlic in oil to make garlic oil, if not refrigerated, causes botulism.
If put in the frdige, will only last a week or two before botulism grows.


What are some of the things that you know that are not common knowledge?

Let's share
 
Did you know that most food poisoning is not botulism (Clostridium botulinum) and is actually caused by a bacteria called campylobacter?

The Issue
Garlic-in-oil is a popular homemade food item that can cause serious health problems if it is not stored properly. If you make and use this item at home, you can take steps to protect your family from the possibility of food poisoning.

Background
Garlic-in-oil is a mixture of vegetable oil and garlic, either whole, chopped or minced. When you make it at home and use it right away, it's a safe product. It's also safe if you keep it refrigerated on a continuous basis, and use it within a week.

The trouble starts if you store homemade garlic-in-oil at room temperature, or if you keep it in the fridge for too long. These actions could result in contamination of the product by the bacteria spores that cause botulism.

The Link Between Homemade Garlic-in-Oil and Botulism
The bacteria spores that cause botulism - Clostridium Botulinum - are widespread in nature, but they seldom cause problems because they can't grow if they're exposed to oxygen. If the spores don't grow, then they can't produce the toxins that make us sick.

However, when garlic containing the bacteria is covered with oil, there's no oxygen present. That means conditions are ripe for the spores to grow and produce toxins. You can slow down the growth of bacteria (and the production of toxins) by refrigerating the product, but this may not be enough to stop it from spoiling.

What's worse is that there won't be any obvious signs that the garlic-in-oil is spoiled. You won't be able to tell if it's dangerous, because it will still look, smell and taste the same.

If you eat garlic-in-oil that contains the toxins, you can get botulism - a potentially fatal food poisoning that may cause the following symptoms:

Dizziness;
Blurred or double vision;
Difficulty in swallowing, breathing and speaking; or
Paralysis that gets worse with time.
Commercially Prepared Garlic-in-Oil
Commercially produced garlic-in-oil products have been linked to two outbreaks of botulism; one in Vancouver in 1985 and the other in New York in 1989.

In both outbreaks, people became seriously ill after eating something made with non-preserved garlic-in-oil that had not been stored at the proper temperature.

Since then, the commercial manufacturers of garlic-in-oil have adopted better preservation techniques to keep their products free of the toxins that cause botulism.

Check the label on commercially prepared garlic-in-oil products for sale. If salt or acids are in the list of ingredients, the product has been preserved. You don't need to worry about food poisoning as long as you follow directions for storing the product.

Health Canada's Initiatives
Health Canada continues to work closely with the food industry to ensure that commercially prepared garlic-in-oil products are safe. In addition, Health Canada is helping to get the word out to consumers about ways to make sure that homemade garlic-in-oil products are also safe.

If You make Garlic-in-Oil at Home
You can protect your family's health and reduce the chance of food poisoning by following these rules:

Prepare garlic-in-oil fresh, and use it immediately;
It's best to throw away any garlic-in-oil that's left-over. If you decide to store it, make sure it goes into the refrigerator right away, and use it within a week; and
Never store garlic-in-oil at room temperature. Throw away any that has been in the refrigerator for more than a week.
 
PAP, good stuff.
Most lipsticks also contain lead and there is no regulation to have manuf. to have it removed
 
How you know this stuff bluetiful??? Do you have a book on these subjects? So basically, you have to eat garlic oil right away or risk getting sick, correct?

I know, just sayin.....

Everyone's always like, ohhhh dont eat that you'll get botiulism.....

When in actuality it looks like this

Campylobacter jejuni grows in just about anything

Chinese rice -- B. cereus

Mexican water -- ETEC, cholera, rota virus

Potato salad/mayo/custards -- Staph aureus

Chicken/Eggs etc -- Salmonella

Sea food -- Vibrio parahemolyticus

Shell fish -- Vibrio para. or Hep A

Red meat -- OH:157, Clostridium perfringens

And the list goes on........

Because I marinated peppers last night and added garlic. So today I was googling info on garlic in general cause I take it for my lyme also, and found that info.
And yes, you need to eat the garlic/oil w/in a week or two, but it has to be in the fridge. Left out, the garlic produces the botulism right away


I have a few more good little tid-bits and will add as I can recall others.


I love that by the way.......bluetiful :-)

Decapitation speaks for itself, I was referring more to drowning/heart attacks, etc.

If you fall off a boat in Alaska and I pull you out and perform cpr, you have 10 times the chance of surviving than if you were to have fallen into the Caribbean.

Your biological processes slow down so much in the cold that the detrimental processes that cause irreversible damage resulting in death are much slower and sometimes prevented.

So........I'd much rather give you mouth to mouth in the cold.... :heart:

Well, yea. Agreed. :) But if it makes ur skin crawl.... we pronounce warm bodies in PEAs here all the time. After 20 minutes, if all ACLS as been correctly provided..protocols say we call em dead. Even if they are in a PEA.

Well yeah, I agree...once you've run through the algorithm, pumped them full of epi, vasopressin, and defibrillated the shit out of them, there isnt much use in still going.... They've been down too long... If they're warm that is. Some of my attendings drag it on for an hour tho....and not once has it ever been any help.

Unfortunately there isnt much that makes it crawl anymore....All the sensitivity has pretty much been beaten outta me by now...
