Can spoiled food kill?
Spoiled food can make you sick if consumed, but it is unlikely to be lethal for a healthy person. However, consuming severely spoiled or contaminated food can lead to food poisoning, which can cause serious illness and even be life-threatening for vulnerable individuals such as young children, elderly people, or those with weakened immune systems. It is important to always practice food safety and avoid consuming spoiled food.
Can vinegar decrease the growth of C botulinum?
Wow! How did I get here?Well, I came here looking for the answer to the same question, but there were quite a few interesting stops along the way.Current scientific wisdom (in Australia, Canada and the USA, anyway!) suggests that C. botulinum cannot thrive (or, at least, cannot reproduce via spores) at a pH (acidity level) of 4.6 or lower.Your average supermarket vinegar, which is a solution of around 4-6% acetic acid, is likely to have a much lower pH, around 2 point-something. Lower numbers, of course, mean greater acidity.I read some old studies from the early years of the last century that said even a 1% solution of acetic acid is toxic to most'food poisoning' bacteria (but C. botulinum wasn't among those mentioned.)Still, the answer must be a clear "YES".PS: If you're making pickles, it might be best just to follow the currently accepted guidelines. There is a LOT of 'folk wisdom' out there that is just plain WRONG. When people mess with recipes based on such wrong info say, for example, adding some oil 'because it's a preservative', they sometimes poison themselves, by making it easier for the nasties to grow.I hope this helps somebody. Thanks for reading.
Where can you buy benzene?
Benzene is an industrial chemical. As it is a known carcinogen and has other toxic effects, it is not readily available to the public. Small quantities can be purchased from a number of chemical or reagent suppliers to those with the "credentials" to acquire it. Sigma-Aldrich is just one such supplier.

What is another word for carcinogen?
Poison, toxin, or chemicals. Those mean carcinogen.
What is the potentially fatal paralysis of skeletal muscles resulting from ingestion of botulinum toxin?
Ingesting botulinum toxin can cause Botulism, which has the risk of causing potentially fatal paralysis. Infants under 1 or those with severely depressed immune systems should not eat honey due to the risk of being exposed to botulinum spores in the honey.
What term describes something that can cause cancer?
Carcinogenic substances or agents are those that have the potential to cause cancer. These can include chemicals, radiation, viruses, and other factors that can increase the risk of developing cancer.
What causes botulisum?
Botulism is caused by a toxin produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. Botulism can be contracted by eating infected foods or in wounds such as those caused by injecting drugs.
What do x ray mutagens cause?
There is no such thing as an x-ray mutagen. X-rays aremutagens. Mutagens cause changes to the genetic material in living cells, thus sometimes producing changes in the offspring of those sells.
What is a urinal para block?
The para block is the urinal puck that sits in the urinal. Para is short for para-dichlorobenzene or something along those lines. It was discovered to be a carcinogen so they started taking it out of the urinal pucks. Now we use non-para blocks.
What disease is caused by food that is improperly canned?
The most notable is botulism, which is caused by a toxin produced by a soil bacterium, Clostridium botulinum.This appears most frequently when commerical cans of food are rusted, dented or damaged, and in home canning. It is also found in honey. The normal cooking process may not destroy all of the spores.Medically, botulinum toxin (botox) is used for deliberate muscle paralysis in cosmetic surgery.
Can ethanol be carcinogenic?
YES! The American Cancer Society has listed ethanol in "Group 1: Carcinogenic to humans" and this is part of "known, tested and tried" group/highest ranking group of known carcinogens. ***** The IARC (part of the World Health Organisation) classify "Ethanol in alcoholic beverages" as a Group 1 carcinogen. This leads me to suspect that's it's included for political, rather than medical, reasons. They've 'denormalised' the smokers with the aid of junk science. Now it's the turn of those of you who enjoy a glass of wine or beer.
A few patients present to the emergency room all exhibiting the following symptoms problems with eye movement dry mouth sore throat difficulty swallowing no gag reflex and extreme weakness all patien?
The patients may be experiencing symptoms of botulism, which is caused by ingesting the botulinum toxin produced by Clostridium botulinum bacteria. This toxin can lead to paralysis of muscles, including those responsible for eye movement, swallowing, and the gag reflex. Immediate medical attention is crucial to provide supportive care and administer antitoxin therapy to counteract the effects of the toxin.
What is 6th nerve palsy?
Adult patients and those children beyond the amblyopic age can be patched or have their lenses "fogged" with clear tape or nail polish. Fresnel prisms also can be prescribed as an alternative.If some residual function of the muscle exists, botulinum toxin to the medial rectus can be performed.When little or no residual function is present a Hummelsheim or the Jensen procedure can be considered.
Is honey straight from a bee hives safe to eat?
Yes, honey straight from a bee hive can be safe to eat.Specifically, honey has strong anti-bacterial properties. Raw honey nevertheless is not the food for infants or those with immune-compromised systems. It may contain spores from the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. These spores may survive the passage of raw, unprocessed honey through human digestive systems. They will not survive pasteurization.
