Foodborne illnesses have been an enemy of humans since the day they began to eat food. The most common foodborne illnesses are E. coli and salmonella which are commonly caused by humans not handling food safely. Because of humans’ mistakes with handling food, USA, Thai-land, Denmark, and Australia are the top countries in outbreaks of foodborne illnesses. Food-borne illnesses are in the hands of restaurants and consumers, who both take the blame for these illnesses. Although there is a constant spread of foodborne illnesses, there are also constant up-dates to food safety programs and cleaning techniques to reduce the bacteria that cause food-borne illnesses. So in general foodborne illnesses are cause mostly by human error, and with a little education it could be prevented.
Out of all the foodborne illness in the world, E. coli and salmonella are the most common and the ones that scientist work the hardest to prevent. One of the biggest harbors of foodborne illnesses are animals, such as food animal, the number one carrier of nontyphoidal salmonella (Aarestrup, 726). Salmonella is constantly evolving, and because of that it has been becoming more resistant to Nalidixic acid, the common drug to treat it, which also means salmonella is becoming harder to cure (726). Drug resistant just one of the many shifts in the strains and because of the shifts in different strains scientists use the data as epidemiologic markers (726). Not only is it a common foodborne illness and constantly changing, in 2004 salmonella was the fifth most co mom foodborne illness found in meat in America (729). Unlike salmonella E. coli commonly comes from human feces (Mediros, 10). The foodborne illness is usually a sign of unhygienic or unsanitary food pre...

little food they had in the smoke filled huts they lived in to stay warm for the frigid weather outside. Soldier's clothes were tattered and many were left freezing.Huts held many men, but no beds. Food was nasty, when the patriots even had any. Lack of food, sickness, and the living conditions are some of the many reasons why I will not be re-enlisting. I thought the Boston Tea Party was just a normal protest, but I had no clue that the rebel move was the pathway to the Revolutionary War. Quite

The American Revolution was a war between what is now known as the United States, and Great Britain, in which the United States were fighting for their freedom. The reason for British
During World War I, many countries used a war tactic called trench warfare. This is where two opposing troops set up camp in trenches facing each other and fight. The land in the middle of them is called “No Man’s Land”. This war tactic was first made in the seventeenth century by a man known as Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban. It was the man defense tool during this war. Constructing the trenches was hard work for the soldiers. It took four hundred men six hours to build two hundred meters of trench

For about nine months in the cold winter, these soldiers stayed in this area for them to"... be close enough to Philadelphia to keep an eye on the British"(Background). By the end of the war, the colonists were victorious in gaining their independence. Regardless, I would abandon my position as a soldier at Valley Forge. My reasoning are due to the multiple hardship they endure such as living in a harsh environment, sickness that lead to death and lacked numerous
book Mayflower: A Story of Courage, Community and War, Nathaniel Philbrick covers a span of 55 years of the Puritans voyage from Europe to North America and the at times symbiotic and often volatile relationship they develop with the Native Americans. It is the story of people whose actions and beliefs shaped the country that the United States became. Development: Everyone is biased to a certain degree in what they believe to have happened between the Pilgrims and the Native Americans due to a perpetuation
drinking water would then be filthy and lead to disease. “1600-1620 longest unbroken Jamestown drought” (Science Magazine). This evidence shows the unbroken drought period for Jamestown so there was no water for their crops so they couldn’t grow any food which lead to the starving time in the winter of 1609-1610. This links to another problem they had which was limited skills in things they needed to know to survive. The most important thing Jamestown needed was settler skills, the amount of deaths

President Abraham Lincoln is now calling for 75,000 militiamen from Union states to put down the Southern rebellion, anybody who is willing to fight and die for their cause must report to the nearby post office. Tensions between the North and South were already beginning about 50 years ago, however they have really catapulted, creating a war. Some things that caused this were

They may feel sympathy for the child at first, but then this grows into a sickness that overcomes them. The people who choose to leave Omelas are possessors of a strong human emotion that cannot exist in a utopia. That emotion is guilt. With guilt, a person cannot be completely happy. Therefore, the people who experience guilt
World War II is cause for much debate over the morals and ethics of wartime attack strategies. Many questionable methods were used to defeat the opposing sides in the war, such as the 3-day bombing of Dresden, which resulted in numerous deaths, mass destruction, and a huge devastation amongst the citizens in the city during the attack. Details about such things are left out of textbooks, and as a result, some people believe that WWII was a flawless victory, and a thing to be celebrated. However,

The constant bloodshed between the national and armed forces has led to countless civilian deaths, or the genocide in the Congo. Before I go on any further, I must explain what a genocide is. A genocide is the attempted destruction of an entire group of people. The most famous example is the Holocaust in which 6 million Jews were murdered during World War II. It is tragic to say that history has repeated

Hiding information/half truth is the fallacy Fitzhugh used because he claimed the masters provided for his slaves but that wasn't always true for all masters. Douglass in the beginning of his autobiography explains the way in which slaves were given their monthly allowance of food and yearly clothing. At the beginning of chapter two Douglass

Between 1606 and 1700, the settlers sponsored by the London Company sailed to Virginia in hopes of getting rich and obtaining land. These people became known as the settlers of England’s Virginia Colony. What the settlers experienced was nothing like the success that was imagined for “Virginia, Earth’s only paradise! (Doc A)” to hold. The challenges of Virginia can be illustrated by these 3 things: the lust for gold, tobacco, and the first few winters. The lust for gold was a big problem for the
