With increased sweeps due to the city of San Diego's camping ban people are moving to state land near highways, presenting challenges for homeless services. And, tourism workers could see a boost in wages. Foodborne illnesses doubled in San Diego County last year and experts say they're preventable. San Diego's first Cardinal gets a promotion to D.C. and SANDAG discusses options for moving the railroad tracks inland from the collapsing Del Mar bluffs.
Even though parasites are not the cause of chronic mystery illness, they are becoming the new, trendy belief system and health-spin of the day. There are even professionals in the health industry toting how all of people's problems are caused by parasites, meanwhile the same people, just a few years ago, like so many others, weren't even aware of the basics when it came to pathogens and toxins. The truth is, parasites do not give people long-term chronic illness, but viruses and bacteria do. There is another confusion around parasites and it's worms—worms are worms and not parasites, viruses or bacteria. People can live with most worms for a lifetime and feel good, while a twenty- or twenty-five-year-old could be bedridden with fatigue, brain fog and body pain and no worms are even present. Foodborne illnesses are parasites, and parasites either kill or be killed—there is no in-between. In this intense episode, learn the causes of chronic illness and the differences between parasites and stealth pathogens… In this episode… • Learn about the parasitical scam going on out there, what it is and how it's misleading people. • Discover the litany of trendy biohack movements that come-and-go, leaving behind not only a great big hole in the health world, but people who are sick, exhausted and answerless. • Uncover what parasites are and just how many and where you come into contact with them every single day. • Learn how your HCL kills off parasites left and right, what can cause weakened HCL and how weakened HCL can impact your health. • Discover what a powerful, lasting parasitical infection can do to the body. • Uncover the kill-or-be-killed mantra that parasites live by. • Learn about how it's you win or the parasite wins, but you can't live long-term with a parasite. • Discover how most parasites are harmless because our HCL kills them off fast. • Uncover what people are really living with that's impacting their health daily, and it's not parasites. • Discover how Medical Medium broke barriers when it came to the reasons behind chronic illness and ways to actually heal. • Uncover tools & resources you can use to better your health. • Learn how the parasitical protocols have changed as of late and where their information is coming from.

Poison friends! Hi! It was a week of turkey laden frivolity or whatever as Thanksgiving was this past Thursday, and I could not help but feel the need to cover some foodborne illnesses that can range from annoying and gross to deadly. Come on a journey through time and...microbiology? as we discuss, Salmonella, Typhoid Mary Mallon, and Botulism. It is going to be a little gross and a lot informative (yes, I realize that does not work well grammatically). Thanks so much to all of our listeners and supporters, you guys have truly been so encouraging and helpful, and we love sharing this time with you guys.

You'll never guess the latest restaurant to file for an IPO. Panera is doing more with its drive-thru. And the surprising source of a big portion of foodborne illness outbreaks.
20,000 research studies are on their way to households across Canada. You might soon be asked some questions about the food you eat.... and it's all for public health. We get details from the manager for the Outbreak Management Division at the Centre for Foodborne, Environmental and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases. (Anthony Germain with Melissa Phypers)
All it takes is one bad batch of inventory to cause a foodborne illness outbreak in a restaurant, which can be a costly risk for owners. The fallout can include lost inventory, a drop in sales, and long-term reputational damage. Unfortunately, many restaurants don't carry foodborne illness insurance, which can cover the financial and reputational fallout of an outbreak. Today, Scott and Amanda are joined by Jon O'Malley an Associate Broker with CRC Group's Minneapolis office where he specializes in Product Recall exposures, as well as Chris Martin also a Casualty Broker with our Minneapolis office specializing in Product Recall. They're going to dive into why Food Borne Illness coverage is a smart buy for restaurants.

AABP Executive Director Dr. Fred Gingrich is joined by Dr. Megin Nichols, a veterinarian who works in for the Centers for Disease Control Epidemic Intelligence Service. Nichols discusses the recent publication that evaluated outbreaks associated with consumption of unpasteurized milk and compared these outbreaks to state laws regarding the consumption of unpasteurized milk over a period from 1998 to 2018. There are 27 states that allow some form of raw milk sales and 78% of the outbreaks investigated occurred in those states. Allowing retail sale of unpasteurized milk presented an even bigger risk for foodborne illness. Only 1-2% of U.S. adults consume unpasteurized milk on a weekly basis, but 70% of adults consume pasteurized dairy products. Nichols discusses that 202 outbreaks and 2,645 illnesses were linked to unpasteurized milk with 228 hospitalizations and 3 deaths. There were 9 outbreaks associated with pasteurized dairy products during the same time period. We discuss the role of veterinarians in ensuring food safety and communicating to consumers the risks associated with raw dairy products and the increased risk to demographic populations of the elderly and young.Foodborne illness outbreaks linked to unpasteurized milk and relationship to changes in state laws - United States, 1998-2018.

Dr. Haley Oliver is an Associate Professor of Food Science at Purdue University, as well as an Adjunct Professor at Texas Tech University. The overall goal of Haley's research is to reduce foodborne disease. She studies bacteria that make people sick and is working to understand where these bacteria may be introduced to food and how they persist on food at every stage of the food system, including in places like grocery stores. Her research aims to improve the safety of foods before they reach consumers. One thing Haley loves to do in her spare time is hit the road to visit the important people in her life. She received her B.S. in Microbiology and Molecular Biology from the University of Wyoming, and she was awarded her PhD in Food Science from Cornell University. Next, Haley received a postdoctoral fellowship to conduct research in food science at Cornell University. Haley is the recipient of the New Teacher Award and the National Early Career Teaching Award from the United States Department of Agriculture, as well as the Outstanding Academic Counseling and Outstanding Undergraduate Teaching Awards from Purdue University. In this interview, Haley discusses her journey through life and science.
An E. coli outbreak linked to The Wendy’s Co. units in six states is over, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but more than 40 of the 109 identified victims are being represented by lawyers. The Dublin, Ohio-based burger chain immediately removed romaine lettuce from its menus when the outbreak was initially reported. The incident began with three states and expanded eventually to six and spanned July 26 to Aug. 17. The outbreak involved 109 reported cases and 52 hospitalizations. The most cases were reported in Michigan, and the illnesses were identified in five other states: Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York. The CDC declared the outbreak over on Oct. 4. Foodborne illness investigators could not confirm romaine lettuce as the source of the six-state outbreak. Let's hear more from senior editor Ron Ruggless.

Taking a closer look at why incidence of Salmonella and Campylobacter varied widely on farms in the same production system helped to demonstrate the importance of management and communication with growers, Bruce Stewart-Brown, DVM, senior vice president, food safety, quality and live production, Perdue Farms, told Poultry Health Today.In a study of 150 farms over the course of 2 years, Perdue found that for Salmonella, some farms rarely had any, some had a lot and others were in the middle with inconsistent patterns. The company noted similar trends with Campylobacter.
Foodborne illness is a significant public health issue in the United States. One of every six Americans is affected by foodborne pathogens. Foodborne illness also creates a big economic burden to the United States with tens of billions of dollars in losses. Temperature control is essential to prevent the rapid growth of foodborne pathogens during storage. Preparing food using thermometers correctly to ensure that it is cooked well enough to eliminate pathogens and bacteria could prevent some illness. A recent study from Purdue researchers show one major factor why people don't use thermometers is that celebrity chefs and others in the know rarely mention the importance of proper temperatures. Joining me to look at this issue is Yaohua "Betty" Feng, PhD, Dr Feng is an Assistant Professor of Food Science at Purdue University.
In this podcast, I pulled out a radio interview from the 4th of July 2016 weekend where the discussion was on foodborne parasites found in the United States. I was joined by microbiologist and the man behind the website, Parasitology Illustrated, Wilson Vientos. We spent at least a half hour talking about the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) list of the top foodborne (and may are primarily waterborne) parasites in the United States– protozoa such as Cryptosporidium spp.,Giardia intestinalis, Cyclospora cayetanensis, and Toxoplasma gondii; roundworms such as Trichinella spp. and Anisakis spp.; and tapeworms such as Diphyllobothrium spp. and Taenia spp.
Foodborne illness causes a major national financial burden annually, but we only hear about a few cases of it on the news. Perhaps it's time for these food-related afflictions to be taken off the back burner.
