Abstract

Beep... beep... click... click ... this just in: A pandemic breakout of unheard of proportions. Is it anthrax? Or clostridia? It could be, but authorities believe the culprit is bacillus cereus (49133). B. cereus is a cousin strain to both bacillus anthracis (anthrax) and Clostridia perfringens (clostridia). B. cereus is a gram-positive spore-forming and toxin-forming bacteria. Found in many starchy foods, like rice, this enterotoxin usually lasts for less than twenty-four hours. Since B. cereus is a spore producing organism, cooking food will not eliminate the threat of infection. Symptoms include abdominal pain, rectal spasm, diarrhea and nausea. Onset of these symptoms may occur 8-16 hrs after ingestion. If you, or someone you know, suffer from these symptoms, contact local health authorities immediately. Beep... beep... beep...
