| A Personal Message From... | |
Shawniqua Davis
Birthdays are a day marking or commemorating the origin, founding, or beginning of something.
This month I will be celebrating such a day. The most frequent question I've been asked is "are you ready for your birthday?" My simple reply, "I was ready for each of them the day I was born." It's not a dreaded day, but a day to celebrate that I made it another year. I'll take the time to evaluate where I am in life and where I want to be. The festivities will be a reminder that I have the opportunity to make this next year even better.

Salmonella
Salmonella is a genus of rod-shaped, Gram-negative, non-spore forming, predominantly motile enterobacteria.
The two major diseases caused by Salmonella spp. are gastroenteritis and typhoid fever (typhoid and paratyphoid fevers) in humans.
Salmonellosis is spread to people by ingestion of Salmonella bacteria that contaminate food. Salmonella is worldwide and can contaminate almost any food type, but outbreaks of the disease have involved raw eggs, raw meat (ground beef and other poorly cooked meats), egg products, fresh vegetables, cereal, pistachio nuts, tomatoes, and contaminated water. The most recent major outbreak (summer 2010) involved Salmonella-contaminated eggs from several U.S. producers that have caused the recall of over 500 million eggs.
Cleanliness is a key to prevention. Hand washing with soap and hot water, especially after handling eggs, poultry, and raw meat is likely to reduce the chance for infections. |
