Answer to Question 1

One outbreak of E. coli 0157: H7 was caused by fresh spinach
that had been contaminated. In part because of this
outbreak, the FDA issued new guidance to the food industry
to minimize microbial contamination of fresh cut fruits and
vegetables. Another example of food-related policy changes
is those intended to minimize risk of prions entering the
food supply. Because prions are found in the nerves and
brain of affected animals, the World Health Organization
recommends that all governments prohibit the feeding of
highly innervated tissue to other animals. Both Canada and
the United States have banned the use of such products
in human food. In addition, the USDA does not allow the
slaughter of non-ambulatory cattle for food purposes in order
to minimize risk of prions entering the food supply.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
