On Thursday, Montana health officials published an outbreak analysis of poisonings linked to the honeycombed fungi in March and April of last year. The outbreak sickened 51 people who ate at the same restaurant, sending four to the emergency department. Three were hospitalized and two died. Though the health officials didn’t name the restaurant in their report, state and local health departments at the time identified it as Dave’s Sushi in Bozeman. The report is published in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
I wish food irradiation became popular. If only people weren’t so irrationally afraid of any word that sounds like the word “radiation”, then we would be able to safely eat all kinds of foods fully raw without any chance of getting sick from a microorganism.
I thought food irradiation went out of favour because the microbes became resistant? I have no idea where I heard that so maybe it’s just people’s irrational fear of “radiation”.
Nope, that’s false
