Answer to Question 1

This disease appears when there is a sudden or recent lack of protein-containing foods. When a mother has a breast-feeding child and delivers another infant that is put to the breast, suddenly the older child's intake of protein is drastically reduced or stopped.

Answer to Question 2

Spores are single cells that have the ability to develop into a new organism. The wall of the spore is thick, protective, heat-resistant, and difficult to penetrate. They must be boiled 6 hours to destroy the spore, which also destroys the food source.
