It is the heat-resistant strains of type A, the spores of which can resist boiling for 1 to 5 h, which are responsible for the majority of outbreaks of food poisoning caused by this organism although heat-sensitive strains may sometimes be implicated. 2. The Disease The symptoms of C. perfringens food poisoning first appear after an incubation period of 6 to 22 h. The symptoms are characterized by severe abdominal cramps, nausea and profuse diarrhoea; there is normally no vomiting or fever. Recovery is usually rapid and within 12 to 24 h although the period may be extended in elderly people for a further 1 or 2 days.
Roberts (1972) found non-host specific salmonellas in 35% of the raw chickens examined whilst Gibson (1969) quoted rates of 45% for ducklings; more recently, Gilbert (1983) reported that 79% of frozen chickens were contaminated with salmonellas. In addition, turkeys have become a common source of food poisoning which now extends throughout the year rather than being limited to the Christmas period. Such incidents are often associated with larger functions as Vernon (1977) observed: Catering facilities for such functions are often overstretched and consequently the turkeys may be cooked 2-3 days before they are due to be eaten.
G. allergies) will not be discussed; although distressing to the individuals concerned, they can in no way be regarded as forms of food poisoning. 26 P. R. 2. 27 INCIDENCE OF FOOD POISONING In England food poisoning statistics have been published annually since the 1940s. It is well recognized that only a very small proportion, perhaps as low as 1%, of the total number of food poisoning cases figure in the annual statistics. This is due either to faulty reporting or, more usually, to the patient failing to consult his general practitioner.
