Another day, another scary fable from the Cult
Climate change could be poisoning your food
The old adage about not eating oysters in months that contain the letter “R†may have to be updated.
Two foodborne pathogens — Vibrio and Cryptosporidium — are becoming more prevalent as a result of climate change, according to a report from Nutrition Action Healthletter, the flagship publication of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a consumer advocacy nonprofit. (Snip)
Typically, Vibrio becomes more common in the summer months between May and October, and health experts generally recommend avoiding raw shellfish during those times.
But because the bacteria are so sensitive to temperature changes in water, they’ve been spreading further north and increasing in prevalence over the last 50 years.
There’s zero scientific proof that this is your fault, but, we’ll blame you anyhow. And we can solve this with a tax, you know.
