It rains over wet soil: Nuclear bombs and rotten carrots


PLEASE KEEP READING IF YOU LIVE IN THE U.S., CANADA OR MEXICO


Tough news just keep arising from every single corner of the world. And if the "successful" nuclear tests performed by North Korea yesterday weren't enough, here in our beloved western hemisphere of the globe, we're experiencing some fear about what's going on in North Korea, and about what we drink.
"And about what we drink?", I wrote? Sadly, yes. There are some bad news coming from Toronto lately through Reuters*, which mention that two persons are hospitalized and paralized after drinking carrot juices coming from the United States, affected by the toxin that causes botulism. In fact, an alert was issued by the FDA in such country after the first case of botulism for drinking carrot juice was confirmed.
However, although the federal authorities in Canada issued the warning all across the country, the first two cases appeared. According to the authorities, there haven't been reported any other cases outside Toronto; nonetheless, please keep in mind to AVOID BUYING ANY BOTTLED CARROT JUICE IF ITS ORIGIN IS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Botulism is a VERY SERIOUS disease that may cause several irreversible health problems, and in the most severe cases, it can lead to the patient's death.
Be aware of the alerts and warning issued by the authorities regarding this public health concern.
