LISTEN TO EPIDEMIOLOGISTS NOT TO GET POISONED
Since the beginning of this year 11 cases of botulism poisoning have
been registered in the Republic, 1 person died as a result of
poisoning. In the first three months of 2005 the number of cases with
botulism is 19. The information was provided by worker of
anti-epidemic department Margarita Babayan.
The cases of botulism this year were registered mainly in the
regions. Moreover, the poisonings were mainly caused by canned red
pepper. `As a result of not proper washing of the pepper its bacteria
produce a toxin in vacuum which causes poisoning,' Babayan said.
To note, the epidemiologists continue warning the people either not to
can vegetables or to use them only after boiling for 15 minutes.
