POISONOUS HANDS.
CONTAMINATION OF FOOD. There was, in fact, no such thing as ptomaine poisoning; food poisoning was due to infection by one of a definite, readily recognisable group of organisms—organisms which were in the meat, but which gained entrance to it from the outside,” said Dr. W. St. G. McClure, deputy medical officer it was sold as some other country’s
of health for Manchester, in a speech recorded in the “Manchester Guardian.’ “Meat from healthy animals was for all practical purposes germ-free. It might become contaminated before it reached the consumer in many ways, but he did wish to emphasise the fact that the handling of food by human beings was the most serious source of contamination, and the one most likely to lead to outbreaks of food poisoning. Food at the present time was unduly handled, and handling should be avoided as far as possible.”
