回复: [评论]食品安全是神话?大温超市2成即食鱼含李氏菌
2008年加拿大确实发生过大规模的李斯特菌感染暴发。但是之后持续的监测显示这并不是加拿大感染性疾病的priority
当年的统计在这里可以参考,
http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/alert-alerte/listeria/listeria_20100413-eng.php
整个BC仅出现5例病例,全国57例。这一数字可以近似视作全人口和暴发疫情有关的数字,考虑全覆盖医保和纳入国家监测的特征。死亡的23例 并非直接死因是李斯特菌感染,写得很清楚“Deaths where listeriosis was the underlying or contributing cause”
注释里面还写了:
There are between 100 and 140 cases of listeriosis reported in Canada each year. For most people, the risk posed by Listeria is very low. Healthy people who are exposed to Listeria are rarely affected by the bacteria.
However, there are certain people who are at higher risk for listeriosis infants, the elderly, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems.
PHAC recommends that those at greater risk take precautionary measures when preparing food by avoiding unpasteurized milk and dairy products, and ensuring that raw vegetables are washed thoroughly before they are eaten.
合作项目接触过PHAC的科学家(也是我们华人女性啊),深深为他们的精益求精所感动,他们的工作非常认真,也有条件认真(人少、背景数据低),每件事可以做到极限。在中国比较难。都是左冲右突,哭笑不得。
我们的祖国,这样的条件致病菌基本不会费钱去搞了。大量的凶恶的敌人在挑战呢,哪里顾得上。有多少大都市的实验室拿着马萨 您们都知道吗?都说主要在印度,这就完了。等到爆了腺病毒,过几天累得半死去严防死守不明原因的肺炎,那边EV71 S好多的神经源性肺水肿。你我要是做卫生局长,心理素质不好的,三天两头就抑郁,休假式治疗去了。
CMAJ发表一篇论文,就把这个事情抬到政治高度了。牛:

这个觉悟和BC老师罢工有一拼。中国的哥们姐们要被活活气死。
