FDA Bad Bug Book - New release announcement -FREE

[Guest guest]

Just an FYI. I've used/referred to the FDA's online version of the " Bad

Bug Book " for years.

In fact, it was via this website that I figured out that my hubby's new

onset lactose intolerance was due to Giardia over 13 years ago. (He drank

Colorado creek water by mistake while staying in an old cabin. He lost his

" lactose intolerence " once we figured it out and treated him.)

Lots of good parasite info along with basic " Food Borne Illness/Food

Poisoning " stuff.

See below or here's the link.

FDA Releases Updated “Bad Bug Book†with New Features

April 4, 2012

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has made available on the internet

the second edition of the Bad Bug Book, a handbook of basic information

about foodborne bacteria, viruses, parasites, prions, and naturally occurring

toxins. In addition to updated scientific information, the book includes

five new chapters (on Cronobacter, Enterococcus, Francisella tularensis,

phytohaemagglutinin, and venomous fish).

Although the book is intended primarily for scientific and technical

readers, each chapter now also includes a separate section for consumers. The

consumer sections are written in everyday language and focus on food safety,

including tips on how to reduce the risk of foodborne illness.

Most chapters have been expanded, and the scientific information in each

has been reformatted. The new format enables readers to extract more easily

from the chapter the specific information they seek. Examples include a

separate section on the pathogen’s or toxin’s characteristics and habitats,

and factors that affect its survival or stability; and separate sections on

detection methods, food sources and analysis, and disease characteristics.

Links to related information from other Federal agencies are included.

Please check the FDA web site periodically, as more chapters will be

added. The updated edition of the Bad Bug Book is available on the FDA web site

at
