Botulism

[draggonlaady]

So Bruce and I were just talking about botulism (no, really, just last night) and today, look what's in my inbox!

Mama Rose's Gourmet Foods of Phoenix, AZ is voluntarily recalling Cilantro Con Queso, Garlic Con Queso, Viper Venom Con Queso and Hopi Corn Salsa, because they have the potential to be contaminated with Clostridium botulinum, a bacterium which can cause life-threatening illness or death. Consumers are warned not to use the product even if it does not look or smell spoiled.

Botulism, a potentially fatal form of food poisoning, can cause the following symptoms: general weakness, dizziness, double-vision and trouble with speaking or swallowing. Difficulty in breathing, weakness of other muscles, abdominal distension and constipation may also be common symptoms. People experiencing these problems should seek immediate medical attention.

AND

Hawaii Business Group Incorporated, Barb’s Favorite Recipes, and Ohana Seafoods are recalling Barb’s Local Style Black Bean Sauce and Ohana Flavors Black Bean Sauce because of possible health risks due to the potential growth of Clostridium botulinum.

Hi! I'm just taking advantage of your good nature to ask a bit of unpaid yet still professional advice: Is pork, or pork products, inherently bad for dogs?

I'll send you money via PayPal if you want to bill me for the answer. Please?

(Sounds like someone really needs to bring a little bit of excitement into your bedroom, my dear... :D)
