Does heating Honey cause it to become poisonous?
No, not at all. Actually, honey sometimes has to be heated to return it to liquid form after it crystallizes. And look how many peope use honey in their tea instead of sugar. Putting honey in a cup of boiling hot tea is the same as heating it, yet it has never harmed anyone. Honey is also used in baking many recipes, such as breads and desserts.
Just don't ever give honey (heated or not) to babies under one year old, or to pets.

Do tortoises carry salmonella?
They can carry salmonella, yes. This is much more common among the babies than the adults, though. Even if your turtle does carry salmonella, there's no reason you can't keep it. You just need to wash your hands after handling it. You should also wash your hands before touching it, too, as turtles can get sick from germs that humans carry.
What are the foods that are high chances in food poisoning?
High risk food is any kind of food that is likely to be a carrier for or support the growth of pathogenic microorganisms. Proteinaceous foods - like beef, fish, mollusks, milk, eggs, poultry, and pork - we all know about. But minimally processed fruits and vegetables have been implicated in many foodborne outbreaks and are considered high risk, too. Ready-to-eat foods are high risk since the consumer does not cook the food before consuming.
What are some kinds of food poisoning?

What is the difference between food borne disease and food poisoning?
Wastage of food basically means all the food that's been made for you, the leftovers is your waste. Wastage of food is the remainers so its what rats would feed off of. Whereas food spoilage is the nutrictional value and its not very good. This means your food is not allowed to be eaten as flavour and texture have been contaminated. There are three types of organismes that cause food spoilage and these are Microbial Spoilages including Bacteria, yeasts and horrible moulds...

Theres a difference between the two, the only simularity is what they are to do with food.
How many people were effected by Salmonella typhimurium this year?
1.4 million annually in the United States. Sited from: Wright JG, Tengelsen LA, Smith KE, Bender JB, Frank RK, Grendon JH, et al. Multidrug-resistant Salmonella Typhimurium outbreak. Emerg Infect Dis [serial on the Internet]. 2005 Aug [date cited]. Available from http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/EID/vol11no08/05-0111.htm Glad I could answer the question!
Can food poisoning cause you to faint?
Yes and no. Someone suffering from food poisoning is likely dehydrated and malnourished from throwing up and diarrhea. Which the weakened state of malnourishment could cause you to faint easily, as well as being severely dehydrated. If it takes more than a day or two to be a or to keep liquids and food down you should seek medical attention.
I've never had them actually go bad unless one of the shells got cracked. Their cooking properties change somewhat. They are better for hard boiling and subsequent peeling if they are a little older, IIR. The yolk will become flatter if you crack it as it gets older, and the air sack in the end will expand so that the egg will float in water and not sink. If it totally floats, I wouldn't use it. Tilting and sort of hovering is fine. Do be aware that American eggs are washed, which is part of why they are refrigerated. If they are unwashed, they still have a natural coating. Once hard boiled, I'd not keep them over a week. I've eaten many, many eggs at a month or a week more from the fridge.
the most common cause of food poisoning are bacterial toxins and generaly not the bacteria itself, usually the toxins are from the bacteria staphylococcus aureus which produce diarrea, stomach pain and vomit.
What 4 things can cause foodborne illness which one is most common?
Food poisoning and Foodborne Illnesses can both result in food poisoning.
According to the most recent 2008 edition of the ServSafe Essentials course, causes of food poisoning can be classified into three general categories:
Biological - Viruses, parasites, fungi, and bacteria. These often contaminate food due to unsafe handling or from buying product from unreliable sources. Certain plants, mushrooms, and seafood that carry harmful toxins (and that are not dealt with or prepared correctly) are also included in this category.
Chemical - Common cleaning agents, pesticides, machine lubricants, and toxic metals all classify as chemical contaminants. If chemicals are not carefully handled around food, contamination can occur.
Physical - Contaminants like hair, dirt, bandages, metal shavings, broken glass, etc. are all forms of physical contaminants that can get into food.
Why do people stop liking foods?
Due to allergies, food intolerances, weightloss diets, religious beliefs, unpleasant personal associations (i.e. bad past experiances with certain foods), other forms of diet (i.e. gluten free or additive free; not necessarily "weight loss diets").
Who has the greatest risk to get foodborne illnesses?
The people at greatest risk for getting a foodborne illness are
- immunocompromised people
- the very young, and
- the elderly
Can food poisoning be treated with antibiotics?

How does rancidity affect the food?
Fats such as butter and oils become rancid as they oxidize or "go bad" over time. Rancid oils or foods have a nasty, pugnant, acrid taste that lingers in your mouth.
A bacterium of a genus which causes food poisoning?
Clostridium botulinum is quite serious. One case is considered an outbreak.
Although most forms of foodborne illness would be serious to anyone affected.
How can food poisoning bacteria be destroyed in food?
By doing proper hygiene and food safety guidelines. With proper hygiene, you can eliminate the possibility of contaminating things around you especially your food. There are already food safety guidelines: Clean, Separate, Cook, and Chill.
What disease can salmonella typhi cause?
Typhoid fever is treated with antibiotics that kill the Salmonella bacteria. Without treatment with antibiotics the fatality rate is 20%. Death occurs from overwhelming infection, pneumonia, intestinal bleeding, or intestinal perforation. With antibiotics and supportive care, mortality is reduced to 1%-2%.
Several antibiotics are effective for the treatment of typhoid fever. Chloramphenicol was the original drug of choice for many years. Because of rare serious side effects, chloramphenicol has been replaced by other effective antibiotics. Ciprofloxacin (Cipro), ampicillin (Omnipen, Polycillin, Principen), and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim, Septra) are frequently prescribed antibiotics.
What happens if you eat bad clams?
well then u would turn into Lydia and that would be bad and yeah!! actually cough and die
What foods do you get food poising from?
Short episodes of vomiting and small amounts of diarrhea lasting less than 24 hours can usually be cared for at home.
Do not eat solid food while nauseous or vomiting but drink plenty of fluids.
- Small, frequent sips of clear liquids (those you can see through) are the best way to stay hydrated.
- Avoid alcoholic, caffeinated, or sugary drinks. Over-the-counter rehydration products made for children such as Pedialyte and Rehydralyte are expensive but good to use if available.
- Sports drinks such as Gatorade and Powerade are fine for adults if they are diluted with water because at full strength they contain too much sugar, which can worsen diarrhea.
