Prevalency of food infections like recent Hep A ??

[Chopper]

Hi, Is the prevalency of food borne infections like the
recent Hep A problem going up, down or steady in recent
decades? Somebody has to keep reliable stats on this stuff.
The media always distorts things into crises so people will
watch their programs.

With increased travel, immigration of people from third
world etc., un-natural livestock raising etc. there should
be some increased possibilities, but is incidence rate
actually changing?

Thanks

The health care system does not look at immigration status
when treating people. They offer free care to those who can
not pay and that is by intent. They do not want public health
issues spreading throughout the community like TB or any other
commuicable disease. This is a world economy now and there is
many food products that are brought in from "third world
countries" with the free trade agreements.

Try searching www.cdc.gov. The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention keep stats on all sort of things and have articles
on food-borne illness.

And don't forget to wash your hands. You'll need to with the
flu bug that is going around.

Over the longer term it has surely gone down. Recall there is
a vaccine to prevent Hep A. It takes two shots separated by a
couple months. Go to county public health dept nurse and get
the shots.

The well vaccinated.................

I was asking about prevalency, not seeking advice.

If you seriously look at the issue you will see what is really
dumb. California is issuing drivers licenses to illegals. The
newly elected governor is withdrawing that benefit. Logic
would tell you that all those registered would be rounded up
and deported or better yet have governor S continue to
register them and then arrest them. Every president of the US
has given amnesty to illegals. IF you come here illegally it
is only a matter of time before you will become legal. If an
illegal is involved in a crime, the police does not call the
border patrol. We have bilingual education mandated by law for
who? For the illegals of course. This country bends over
backwards to make illegals welcome here because we need them.
Why would this country do this if that were not the case? You
have competing interest here with homeland security where
terrorist can enter the country versus those needed to work in
this country and lets see which interest wins out.

Infected food also originate in G7 countries, not only in
third world countries.

Here EEC countries are the main source of infected food, like
chickens and eggs. (France, Spain and Portugal, and in a few
cases Sweden and Denmark). But of course, meat from 3. world
countries may be infected too :-( But since custom control are
far more strict from 3. world countries, they almost never hit
the market. But since we are not allowed to do any control on
EEC products, those products hit market far too often, since
the producer says the food is controlled, which it turn out
not to have been, at export time.
