Botulism, babies and bad advice

Amy and I donít really disagree about much. But we can each
get moody and self-absorbed and go after each other.
Especially at the end of 20-hour drives. Thatís about how
long it takes to go from Manhattan (Kansas) to Guelph
(Ontario) and at the end of one epic journey back from
Guelph two years ago, tired and driving through Kansas City
with a trailer full of my crap that I just had to have in
Kansas, Amy decided to entertain herself by asking me, who
are you to publish an opinion, or something like that.
Iíve always thought that academic-types had a responsibility
to share their knowledge in a compelling manner with the
public, rather than just complain about peopleís opinions of
things scientific and otherwise. But really, who the hell am
I? Why should anyone listen? Or care?
I questioned myself for a couple of months and didnít do
much public stuf. Then I got over it. But I still question
myself and try to do my homework.
Iím not so sure about Dr. Dave in the video below.
This is from some mommy television show in Canada that Ben
sent me. Itís called, The Mom Show. In the clip below, Dr.
Dave, appears to have no clue about botulism in babies less
than a year old.

Clostridium botulinum can cause sickness in very young
children, and infants under the age of 1 years old are most
at risk. Honey may contain Clostridium botulinum spores that
can grow in the digestive tract of children less than
one-year-old, because their digestive system is less acidic.
The bacteria produces toxin in the body and can cause severe
illness. Even pasteurized honey can contain botulism spores
and should be not be given to children under the age of 12
months.
The advice is clear: do not give any honey to children less
than one-year-old.

But maybe I donít know what Iím talking about.

farmers use guns, poison to safeguard crops

FRESNO, Calif. -- Farmers in "America's Salad Bowl" are
turning into hunters ó stalking wild pigs, rabbits and deer
ó to keep E. coli and other harmful bacteria out of their
fields.
It's part of an intense effort to prevent another disaster
like the 2006 spinach contamination that killed three
people, sickened 200 and cost the industry $80 million in
lost sales.
The exact source of the contamination was never discovered,
but scientists suspect that cattle, feral pigs, or other
wildlife may have spread the E. coli by defecating near
crops.
The pressure to safeguard crops comes from the companies
that buy fresh greens. In response, some farmers are taking
gun-safety classes to learn how to shoot animals that could
carry the bacteria. Others are uprooting native trees and
plants and erecting fences to make their land inhospitable
to wildlife.
Spinach grower Bob Martin has even poisoned ponds with
copper sulfate to kill frogs that might get caught in
harvesting machinery or carry salmonella on their webbed
feet.
Produce buyers "got us by the short hairs," said Martin, one
of few growers who would talk publicly about how he is
protecting his crop.
But some officials have questioned whether such drastic
measures are necessary based on limited evidence.
"We're trying to talk now with the companies, buyers,
retailers, wholesalers to bring things back into balance,"
said Scott Horsfall, executive director of the Leafy Greens
Handlers Marketing Board, which oversees new farming
standards drawn up after the 2006 E. coli contamination.
"There's a real pressure out there on growers that goes
beyond what the science justifies."
Concern over contamination is most pronounced in the Salinas
River Valley, where valuable farmland and sensitive wildlife
have coexisted for centuries. The lush valley, described in
John Steinbeck's "East of Eden" and nicknamed "America's
Salad Bowl," grows 60 percent of the nation's lettuce.
Fresh Express, with 41 percent of the bagged greens market,
demands a mile between farm fields and feedlots for cattle
instead of the agreement's recommended 400 feet. The company
also requires that a field intruded on by a wild pig be kept
idle for two years.
Barbara Hines, a spokeswoman for Fresh Express, which
processes 40 million pounds of salad each month, said the
company's tighter regulations are "generally valued" by its
retail customers, which include grocers such as Safeway,
Vons and Harris-Teeter.
The Western Institute for Food Safety and Security is
conducting a study funded by the federal government. It
plans to analyze carcasses and anal swabs from 7,000 birds,
wild pigs, cattle and other animals collected by state
officials. Hunters are being asked to turn in deer colons
for the research.
Officials are also collecting 13,000 soil, water and plant
samples in the hope that the study will rule out wildlife as
risks and ease buyers' fears.
NEW JERSEY:
DEP lifts ban on shellfish harvesting
29.aug.08

http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2008/08/dep_lists_ban_on_shellfish_har.html
The state Department of Environmental Protection reopened
the Delaware Bay to shellfish harvesting this morning,
lifting a weeklong ban imposed following reports of two
people sickened from New Jersey oysters.
"We're glad to be back to work,'' said shell fisherman
Barney Hollinger of Port Norris, who also serves as chairman
of the Delaware Bay Shellfish Council.
DEP spokeswoman Darlene Yuhas said a sampling of oyster
tissue taken from the closed area "indicated the shellfish
beds are acceptable for harvesting, so we're lifting the
temporary ban.''
On Aug. 19, the DEP ordered the suspension of shellfish
harvesting on 130 square miles the bay from Lower Alloways
Creek in Salem County to the Maurice River inlet in
Cumberland County after the state Department of Health and
Senior Services confirmed the illnesses were linked to
oysters taken from that area. The ban applied to mussels,
clams and oysters.
CANADA:
Schools shun alcohol-based hand cleanser
30.aug.08

The Winnipeg School Division is sticking to basics with
old-fashioned handwashing, deciding to avoid alcohol-based
hand sanitizer because it is potentially flammable and
toxic, a division nurse says.
The policy, reported this week, means the division's 77
schools will not be provided with, and cannot order,
alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Parents, staff and students
will be allowed to bring their own, but students will be
encouraged to use soap and water.
"We're simply not placing the [alcohol-based] product in our
schools," said school division nurse educator Kerry Heather,
a former pediatric-care and Health Canada nurse. She was
asked to investigate the issue, and could not find any
national recommendations on the use of alcohol-based hand
sanitizer in schools. So, citing a recommendation by the
Canadian Paediatric Society to emphasize handwashing with
soap and water, the division developed the policy.
The cleansers are typically about 60-per-cent alcohol. "You
don't see that even in a liquor mart," Ms. Heather said.
They can be toxic or flammable. Instead, the school board
will encourage hand washing at schools and non-alcoholic
wipes for field trips.
