Use utensils insteod of honds when
mixing ingredients. And don't use
fingers 10 toste food in progress
To add a liquid note to the range of
food poisoning, DR.. Bundesen suggests that
picnickers drink only water from State
approved wells or sources approved by the
authorities of picnic park. Contaminated
water can cause ailments even more serious
than most cases of food poisoning
Other Precautions
Another suggestion, from Mr. Sullivan,
has to do with frozen foods: Under no cir
cumstances should frozen foods that have
been thawed, especially meats, be refrozen
Ice crystals from the first freezing have
pried apart f1bers of food, thus opening up
new areas for bacterial spread Also, he
says, since many bacterial infections are
borne by animals, it's good idea to wash
hands after stroking Towser or Tabby and
before handling food.
Mr.. within rounds out his advice with
a caution against a rare but usually fatal
form of food poisoning known as botulism.
Most medicines are caused today by home
canned foods that are improperly Jared
Before undertaking home canning home
makers should obtain a Federal or State
approved bulletin on the subject One of
these is called Canning at Home, available
from Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y.
Frightening Symptoms
Although food poisoning is rarely fatal,
even a mild case of it leaves most people
with the temporary impression that they
are going to die on the spot. Staphylococcus
poisoning usually makes its victims sick in
two to six hours after contaminated food
was eaten Though there's seldom fever, the
upset is characterized by diarrhea, abdomi-
nal cramps, nausea and vomiting. Most
victims recover within "a to 48 hours. Sal
monella poisoning, which can sometimes
be fatal, usually requires six to twelve hours
after food intake to make itself felt. Symp-
toms are the same as for staph, except for
the addition of fever, headache, chills, and
sometimes prostration. Recovery generally
comes within "A to 70 hours
Though many victims of food poison
ing refer to their illneSS~as ''ptomaine
poisoning" technically speaking this Is
misnomer. Ptomaines are compounds that
result from the chemical breakdown of
proteins and are not known to cause any
Ill effects. Limburger cheese, for example,
is full of ptomaineS, but aside from its pun
gent odor, it's not at all dangerous.
BY following the rules for food handling
preparation and storage, even minor upsets
ought to be prevented. AS any victim will

is hungry, they sit down to their chicken
and potato salad. Chances are it's a meal
they'll long remember
Preventive Measures
According TO- experts Finucane Bum
desen, Sullivan and within, who have in
veStigated thousands Of cases of food
poisoning In metropolitan centers, the
usual pattern as described above is typical
of many cases. From their experience,
these authorities agree on a number of
dos and don'ts to prevent summer food
poisoning:
Cd Limit the number of perishabIe or
finely chopped foods, like salads, as well
as custard and cream filled desserts.
CD When preparing salads Of chicken,
potatoes, eggs, and the like, get them under
refrigeration as soon as possible after prep
aratiOn. II Is wise to separate big salads
into smaller portions before refrigerating,
so they will cool more rapidly and thor
Oughly in separate dishes.
CD All perishable foods should be
packed in portable coolers, or they should
not be taken to a picnic. The cooler should
be kept in the shade until ready to be
opened. II portable icebOx Is not avail
able, a bag Of Ice cubes may be packed in
with the food, but should not be relied on
for more than two hours.
90 Hot foods, like chilli or German
style potato salad, should be kept hot from
time of preparation to time of eating. This
means at temperatures of more than 15e
degrees; so or 80 degrees isn't good enough.
go When preparing foods, avoid touch
ing them with your hands. Utensils are
available for all necessary jobs.
60 Don't taste the work in progress by
dipping finger and licking. This is good
way for staph to get into the food.
ca If telephone or dOOrbell should ring
during food preparation, wash your hands
before going back to food handling
(8) Best advice Of all is to leave all
periShable foods at home on picnic days.
Fresh vegetables and fruits, and meat that
can be griIIed right on the spot, make the
safest foods for warm weather outdoor din
ing. But meats should be carried in portable
