Listeria can grow even at low temperatures feathers in hair extensions
As of Monday, it had grown to 18 states, 72 illnesses and 13 feathers in hair extensions deaths, according to the CDC’s latest statistics.
“Because some of the wholesalers and distributors may have further distributed the recalled cantaloupes to food processors, it is possible that additional products that contain cantaloupe from Jensen Farms could be recalled,” the FDA said. “There is no indication of foreign distribution at this time.”
In 1998, 21 people died from consuming tainted hot dogs, according to a CDC database.
In the current outbreak, four people who ate contaminated cantaloupes died in New Mexico, two each in Colorado and Texas, and one each in Kansas, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska, and Oklahoma.
Public health officials also have reported illnesses in California, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Montana, North Dakota, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
Listeria can grow even at low temperatures and can also can take three weeks or longer to make a person sick, so more cases may emerge in the coming weeks, officials said.
Listeriosis causes fever, muscle aches, diarrhea and other gastrointestinal symptoms. It is rooster feathers for hair wholesale rarely a serious concern for healthy children and adults, according to the CDC, but it is particularly dangerous for older adults, people with weakened immune systems. In pregnant women, it can cause miscarriages, stillbirth and premature delivery.
About 1,600 people become seriously ill because of the bacteria each year, the CDC reports, and about 260 die
A team of Niels Bohr Institute astrophysicists, led by Radek Wojtak, studied the basic assumption of the general theory of relativity: light loses energy while escaping the gravitational field created by the celestial bodies, the stronger the gravity pull, the more the light’s loss of energy. Since light’s energy is related to wavelength, it will create longer wavelength while emitting from the center of the galaxy as gravity is stronger in the center than in the galaxy edge. Therefore, wavelength of light will be shorter when it emits from the edge. The process is known as gravitational redshifting.
To validate Einstein’s theory, Wojtak and his team collected data from about 8,000 galaxy clusters by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and performed a statistical analysis.
The motto of the work was to detect gravitational redshift “by studying the properties of the redshift distribution of galaxies in clusters rather than by looking at redshifts of individual galaxies separately,” Wojtak explains.
“We could measure small differences in the redshift of the galaxies and see that the light from galaxies in the middle of a cluster had to ‘crawl’ out through the gravitational field, while it was easier for the light from the outlying galaxies to emerge,” Wojtak adds.
