INFO AND WATCH OUT THE DANGER OF HEPATITIS-A OUTBREAKS ASSOCIATED WITH
EATING RAW OR UNDERCOOKED GREEN ONIONS (SCALLIONS) !!!  

--
Questions and Answers on Hepatitis A Outbreaks
Associated with Eating Raw or Undercooked Green Onions (Scallions)
1.        What did FDA announce today? FDA advised consumers that three recent hepatitis A outbreaks have been associated with eating raw or undercooked green onions (scallions).
2.        Does this announcement apply to all products containing green onions? No... It only applies to raw or undercooked green onions or products containing them. Commercially prepared products, such as salsa in jars, have received a treatment that eliminates the hepatitis A virus.
3.        What can consumers do to decrease their risk of infection from hepatitis A caused by contaminated green onions? Consumers can cook all raw green onions thoroughly before eating them. This minimizes the risk of illness by reducing or eliminating the virus. Consumers can also avoid eating raw or lightly cooked green onions. Consumers who wish to avoid undercooked green onions should also specifically request that raw or lightly cooked green onions not be added to their food prepared in restaurants.
4.        Should additional precautions be taken by people with chronic liver disease or weakened immune systems such as patients undergoing chemotherapy or AIDS patients? Persons ! with chronic liver disease or weakened immune systems are not more likely to acquire hepatitis A. However, persons with these chronic illnesses sometimes have a more severe form of hepatitis A. People with chronic liver disease or weakened immune systems should consider avoiding raw or undercooked green onions until the cause of green onion contamination has been identified and corrected. All persons with chronic liver disease should get hepatitis A vaccination (see below).
5.        What caused the outbreak of hepatitis A in the Pittsburgh area? The State of Pennsylvania , the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and FDA are working together to investigate this outbreak. As of November 15, 2003, the investigation is not finished, and it is not yet known what caused this outbreak. Investigators are now trying to determine if the outbreak was caused by a contaminated food such as raw or undercooked green onions.
6.        Has FDA asked the restaurant industry to do anything in response to these outbreaks? Yes. FDA has informed the restaurant industry of the association of hepatitis A with raw or undercooked green onions in recent outbreaks so that restaurants can take actions to protect their customers.
7.        What are the symptoms of hepatitis A? The average incubation period for hepatitis A is 28 days (range: 15-50 days). This means that symptoms of hepatitis A develop within 50 days of exposure.. Persons with hepatitis A virus infection may not have any signs or symptoms of the disease. Adults are more likely to have symptoms than children... If symptoms ! are present, they usually occur abruptly and may include fever, tiredness, loss of appetite, nausea, abdominal discomfort, dark urine, and jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes). Symptoms usually last less than 2 months; a few persons are ill for as long as 6 months. There is no chronic infection with the hepatitis A virus.
8...        How serious is hepatitis A? Most persons with hepatitis A make a full recovery and will never get hepatitis A again... However, in rare instances (an average of 3 in every 1000 reported cases), hepatitis A can be fatal..
9.        What should consumers do if they recently ate food containing raw or lightly cooked green onions? Consumers who have recently eaten raw or lightly cooked green onions and feel well only need to monitor their health.. Consumers who are experiencing symptoms that might be hepatitis A should consult their health care provider.
10.        Is there a test for hepatitis A? Yes, there is a blood test for hepatitis A, called an IgM anti-HAV. However, the only people who need this test are those who are showing symptoms of hepatitis A. Persons who feel well should not be tested, even if they recently ate green onions.
11.        What is immune globulin (often called IG or ISG) and who should receive it? Immune globulin is a preparation of antibodies that can be given before exposure to provide short-term protection against hepatitis A to reduce the risk of infection among persons who have recently been exposed to hepatitis A. For maximum protection immune globulin must be given within 2 weeks after exposure. Persons who have recently eaten green onions do not need to get immune globulin unless they have been specifically exposed within the previous 2 weeks to individuals or food involved in an outbreak and believe by public heal! th officials to have been potentially contaminated.
12.        Are there treatments for hepatitis A? There is no medication that treats hepatitis A. Some patients with hepatitis A may need to be hospitalized to treat dehydration or liver complications.
13.        Is there a vaccine for hepatitis A? Yes, but it should be given before an exposure to work most effectively. Hepatitis A vaccine has been licensed in the United States for use in persons 2 years of age and older. The vaccine is recommended for persons who are more likely to get hepatitis A virus infection or are more likely to get seriously ill if they do get hepatitis A. More information on vaccination can be found at http://www..cdc.gov/ncidod/diseases/hepatitis/a/faqa.htm. CDC does not recommend that persons who have eaten green onions get vaccinated, unless a healthcare professional recommends that they get vaccinated because of other risk factors for hepatitis A..
14..        Have there been other recent outbreaks of hepatitis A caused by contaminated food in the U.S. ? Have these outbreaks been associated with raw green onions? Yes. Hepatitis A outbreaks associated with raw or undercooked green onions served in restaurants occurred in Tennessee , North Carolina and Georgia in September. The source of the green onions from the Tennessee outbreak appears to be Mexico . The agency has been in consultation with Mexican authorities to obtain their assistance in assessing the situation. In addition, FDA is monitoring certain import entries of green onions for evidence of potential contamination.

 "所以奉勸愛生吃香菜、青蔥的姊妹們，先把牠燙死再吃！"

哦......恩雨大师,这些虫虫,蛋蛋是否仅对您们娇滴滴的姊妹们有害,而奈何不了我等粗壮兄弟?或者是...心中只关心姊妹?恩雨独向娇媚洒,之星冷光映粗豪! 呵呵,拜读了,谢谢.

     多谢恩雨之星的提醒,原来香菜和青葱是不宜生吃的,看来老习惯要改啦.希望在以后的日子,同学们多提供一些生活常识,让同学们受用.

科技日新月异，人的认识往往跟不上这种变化，或者说接受不了这种变化。fficeffice" />

比如说吃葱和芫茜，早已习惯了生吃，生的滋味与熟的根本不同。刚读到一则资料，要与恩雨之星提供的唱反调，让大家比较分析：

中国有句俗语：每天不离葱，身轻脑子灵。〔指生吃〕葱中含有蛋白质、糖类、食物纤维以及磷、铁等矿物质，有助防止血压升高所致的头晕，使大脑保持灵活和预防老年痴呆。而且葱还富含维生素C，硒，有较强的杀菌作用。

金錢樹 (澤米芋) —— 珍寶還是無形殺手！

澤米芋——學名為Zamioculcas　zamiifolia ，又名金錢樹、雪鐵芋、澤米葉天南星、龍鳳木，為天南星科、雪鐵芋屬的罕見觀葉植物，作為一种以觀葉為主的常綠草本植物。它原產于非洲東部，為林下多年生植物，耐蔭、耐旱，怕高濕，怕低溫、怕雨淋。金錢樹（五術、園藝界的稱呼，用於招財），其實不是樹。樹一般都是木本，而金錢樹卻是多年生常綠草本植物。

為何被稱作“金錢樹”或“金幣樹”呢？它這令人誘人的名字，不管你上看下看，左看右看，完全沒有一點像金錢的樣子。它的葉子是卵形冠上金錢兩字，會不會有點不倫不類。其拉丁文的种加詞“zamiifolia”，意為“澤米葉的”，也就是說它是一种葉片同澤米蘇鐵（Zamia　furfuracea）很相似的天南星類植物，即“澤米葉天南星”。“金錢”、“金幣”之名，可能与其葉軸上的葉片形狀、質地、排序有關，它的圓筒形葉軸粗壯而肥腴，其 上的小葉呈偶數羽狀排列，且葉質厚實、葉色光亮，宛若一挂串連起來的錢幣。

金錢樹是近年來流行起來的觀賞花卉。不論走到任何行業的店鋪，辦公室或者住宅區，很容易發現到金錢樹。有人還自認載种金錢樹覺得很自豪，卻不知道奪命符已一步一步接近你，其殺傷力分分秒秒會在你的健康爆發。

金錢樹是一種劇毒植物。它的毒比斷腸草還要更毒。它的葉汁沾在敏感皮膚上，五官，牙床，會腫脹。對一些曾葉在荒野生長的澤米芋，飛禽走獸，蜂蝶爬虫都不會接近它，同時生長在周邊的植物，也會枯死，可見其毒無比。所以，發現有其他可以食用的草本同盆生長，希望大家千万記得別採來藥用，否則會死得不明不白。家有此類植物的人士，絕對要小心處理。不要把栽種金錢樹泥土加入其他食用本草中，它的毒素仍然留在泥土中。

如果你家買了此類植物，最好把它擺遠一點，不要讓老小接触到它。金錢樹也不要放在窗下，它的毒气會影響房中人的健康。如果你不舍棄種，最好多种兩三盆虎尾蘭，巴西鐵樹，吊蘭等。它們不但可以凈化，吸收漂浮在空中有害的气体，二氧化碳CO2，甲醛 CH2O（Formaldehyde），三氯乙烯C2-H-Cl3（Trichloroethylene）等致癌的气体。

人人都視為它如珍寶，都認為擺一盆可招財。若真有效力，那就不會為錢而煩惱，天下再沒有窮人，也不會缺錢而向阿隆借錢，更不會有人為錢而死。

千富万富，健康才是真正的財富…… ！

    我认为要以两分法地对待问题，任何的事物总是有着其正反的两个方面，对于人类的食品，任何的东西都有着有利和有害的两个共存，又如有些科学家检测到大米会至癌，但我们又天天离不开它；市场上的青菜类，明知是存有害的杀虫剂才不长虫，但餐餐又不能没有；还有当代的肉食品已是百分之百都是食危害人类的摧生剂长大的，但我们不可不食；茶余饭后的水果类是没有不含防腐剂。总之今天的人类的食品防不胜防，有些无奈的。但无论是怎样，能防就防不断提高，是有益健康的。谢谢恩雨之星！希以后多发帖子，提高大家健康质量。
