EGG POISONING.
Some Persons Always Affeeted--othe-s
Only Occasionally.

Instances of egg poisoning ap
pear from time to time in period
zeal literature, and the subject is re.
fefred to in some but by no mean:
all works on dietetics.
While cases Of acute poisoning
are rare, writes a physician in the
Medical Record, some susceptibility
es regards eggs is not so very un-
common. People constantly assert
that eggs make them bilious, and,
#hile in some this is often imag-
mary, in others the condition ac-
t6ally exists.
.This is notably true of infants
and young children Not only do
many infants and young children
digest eggs with difficulty, especial
lywhen first eaten, but many more
are made i'll if this particular food
istpartaken of too freely or, in the
case Of older children, if the egg
diet is kept up too continuously.
This inability Of young children
to digest eggs is probably in line
With the well recognized fact that
the infants stomach, or digestive
juices, must be taught to digest
most dietary articles other than the
maternal milk. Cows milk, for in
stance, is a veritable poison to some
infants, while many a newly born
requires some practice and educa-
tion before it can thoroughly digest
even mothers milk.
Individual susceptibility as re-
CARDS eggs is extremely variable. In
some persons eggs always act as
poisons, while in others the toxic
Influence may be marked at one
lime and at another much dimin-
ished or entirely wanting, especially
when the subject is in sound condi-I
tion.
The susceptibility may be observ-
ed in eggs of every degree of fresh
ness and in some cases only with
eggs of certain birds. Changes inI
eggs may also be brought about by
methods of cooking, for, while some
persons manifest their susceptible
ty only when the egg is raw, others
are poisoned when it is cooked OF
prepared in some unusual and un-
accustomed manner.
In most of the reported cases the
white of the egg appears to have
been the offending element. The
symptoms Of egg poisoning differ
greatly in degree. In some cases
only nausea and headache occur.
In others the most violent symp-
toms, suggestive Of irritant poison
ing, are observed.
Sometimes when the use Of eggs
is long continued they give rise toI
the symptom group which we call
biliousness, which, after all, is but q
form Of auto-intoXication, due pos
sibly to the presence Of some aka
loid in the blood. The symptoms
Of egg poisoning are essentially
those of so called ptomaine poison
ing.
1t is true that the eggs giving
rise to toxic phenomena are in most
instances apparently fresh when
eaten, but when we recall that the
porous shell of the egg will admit
the micro organisms that cause the
egg to rot, as well as various stronc
odors, it is easy to comprehend that
an egg may appear fresh and yet
contain bacteria that in suscepti-
bic persons : an and ig certain con1
tions Of digestion may produce
changes which may cause toxic
symptoms. -s+"r~-----.-
