Over 76 million Americans fall victim to a food- or water-borne illness each year. Today, we also live under the threat of terrorist sabotage. FOOD FIGHT, written by food bacteriologist Rebecca Hohlstein, is an easy-to-read and reliable source of information about anthrax, E. coli, cholera, chronic wasting disease, mad cow, smallpox and the many other illnesses that can threaten our health. It is filled with tips on how to recognize and protect ourselves and our families from potential attacks on our food and water. Each chapter provides a description of the organism or pathogen, its historical use, disease manifestations, diagnosis and treatment, its potential for use as a biological weapon, and the likelihood of its application as a contaminant of food or water. This is an invaluable reference that belongs in every household!
