TAKING TOLL Four cases of botulism resulting in two deaths caused by three different lots of home canned vegetables are reported by Dr. Wilton L. Halverson, director, State Department of Public Health, who reiterated warnings issued earlier in the year: Individuals are warned to boil all non-acid home canned foods for 15 minutes before tasting even , tiny amounts and to call a doctor immediately in case symtoms of bolulism occur. E Dr. Halverson said that although the toxin generated in improperly home canned foods is the second most ‘deadly poison known, prompt treatment sometimes .can save the life of the patient. The State Department of Public Health has made arrangements by which doctors can ob tain without delay antitoxin used in the treatment. Pe are the first resulting from the 1943 pack of home canned food but more will occur unless people stop believing that their grandmothers canning methods are safe,’’ Dr. cree Lverson declared. “Approximately 30 million jars of home canned fruits and Vegetables were processed in California. last year. How much of the home canned non-acid foods were processed in a steam pressure cooker according to the directions of the University of California is not known, but all nonacid foods which were not so processed are potential sources’ of botulism poisoning.” Dr. Halverson said that illness due to botulism usually does not occur until from 24 to 48 hours after the food has been eaten. Symptoms are very different from those caused by ordinary food poisoning. There is rarely any pain or: symptoms of: indigestion. The patient becomes weak and there are disturbances of vision and loss of ability to talk. Death is due to paralysis which makes breathing impossible. Three cases of botulism’ and two deaths have resulted from home ¢canned asparagus and. ‘black eyed peas eaten. in Los Angeles county, Another: case, now: under -treatment, resulted from home canned asparagus eaten in Siskiyou county. Soon after eating the asparagus, the patient left°for Fresno county where she besame 4 ae ‘purused.,; MOUNT, 7.
