Current news: salmonella, and food born illnesses!
With an added “finger” to you the american voting citizen
Brought to u by the people in Washington
Fresno made the news!
Foster Farm chicken could have sicken 10,000 people with salmonella.
Disease control is shut down
Salmonella is a bacteria that can make you sick. Not all salmonella are the same. Some make you really sick some make you a little sick. Find out what strain it comes from.
About 42 percent of those sickened had to be hospitalized. That’s when were concerned. This is a scary form. 1 of this 7 strains is resistant to antibiotic. So it can kill you.
This brings us to bacteria
You grandma is trying to kill you

How different are there DNA
How come is there so much differences is there DNA code? First billion years on earth had no sign of life. Amino acid are developing. They build protein, structure. Theres bacteria on eath for billions of years. DNA mutans
A billion years ago plants start showing. Humans been on earth for a few time.
They are everywhere
-10 billion in your mouth-right now
-25% of your body weight
Why are they so successful
-time, evolution produces diversity
-abilitiy to mutiply
-conjegation

- tuberculosis
- cholera
- mentingitis
- gonorrhea/syphilis
Food borne illnesses
food poisoning
solmonella, botulism, Escherichia
imoroper food handling and preparation
3 things
1. contamination-modern food processing
