Main Cause of geylang Serai food poisoning

[commoner]

I am not sure why the media kept humming on the hygiene issue,,,

Although the final report is not out yet, it is believed to be the spoilt seafood,,,, it has to be the source of the seafood, the storage etc etc,,, and it has nothing to do with the rats per se,,,,

AVA who in charge one huh?

Why all the CB MPs inclu Wood Head talk about hygiene,,,, trying to cover up for something else is it? Push the maintenance to public,,,, KNNBCCBN, take money to rent out and not maintain,,,, typical CB PAP style,,,,

You are quite correct!

The cause of the food poisoning has nothing at all to do with rats or hygiene of stalls in the market....

How is V. parahaemolyticus infection prevented?

Most infections caused by V. parahaemolyticus in the United States can be prevented by thoroughly cooking seafood, especially oysters. Wound infections can be prevented by avoiding exposure of open wounds to warm seawater. When an outbreak is traced to an oyster bed, health officials recommend closing the oyster bed until conditions are less favorable for V. parahaemolyticus.

Timely, voluntary reporting of V. parahaemolyticus infections to state health departments and to regional offices of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will help collaborative efforts to improve investigation of these infections. Regional FDA specialists with expert knowledge about shellfish assist state officials with tracebacks of shellfish. When notified rapidly about cases, officials can sample harvest waters to discover possible sources of infection and may close oyster beds. Ongoing research may help us to predict environmental or other factors that increase the chance that oysters carry Vibrios.


How does infection with V. parahaemolyticus occur?

Most people become infected by eating raw or undercooked shellfish, particularly oysters. Less commonly, this organism can cause an infection in the skin when an open wound is exposed to warm seawater.

Its getting common now, embalming fluid used to preserve seafood instead of ice. Ingesting that causes kidney failures.
