In 2016, a team of international researchers published a structural biology study in IUCrJ that decoded the atomic-level makeup of protein crystals secreted by a little-known cockroach species, Diploptera punctata. These crystals—formed inside developing embryos—are so nutritionally dense that scientists have suggested they could one day serve as a potent compact food source. Backed by molecular imaging, the study revealed …

The Florida Department of Health is warning about the risks of drinking raw, unpasteurized milk after 21 people, including six children under the age of 10, were sickened by E. coli and campylobacter bacteria linked to raw milk from the same farm. Seven people have been hospitalized, and two have developed severe complications. “Sanitation practices in this farm are of …

On October 20, 2023, health officials in the County of San Diego, California, put out a press release warning of a Salmonella outbreak linked to raw (unpasteurized) milk. Such an outbreak is not particularly surprising; the reason the vast majority of milk is pasteurized (heated briefly to kill germs) is because milk can easily pick up nasty pathogens in the …

A Salmonella outbreak that sickened over 160 people in California and a handful of individuals in other states was caused by raw milk products from a single dairy farm, a new report explains. The outbreak — described Thursday (July 24) in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR), which is published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — …

Investigation and Findings Case Identification A confirmed outbreak-associated case was defined as a laboratory-confirmed infection with S. Typhimurium with allele code SALM1.0 – 6745.4.2.1x that is closely related based on whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to other isolates in the same outbreak,† in a person with symptom onset (diarrhea, fever, vomiting, or abdominal pain) during September 15, 2023–May 4, 2024. This period …

I suffer from nightmares that wake me up. I read that they can be caused by a dairy intolerance, but I don’t have any other symptoms. Do you think this might be what’s behind them? Dr Ellie Cannon replies: Some research suggests lactose intolerance, where the body has trouble breaking down dairy, can increase the frequency and severity of bad …

Though H5N1 avian flu outbreaks in dairy cattle and commercial poultry are at low levels in the United States, scientists continue to sort out how the virus spreads on farms, and two new pieces of information this week shed more light on potential spread in dairy cattle: contamination from house flies and “milk snatching”. Over the last 30 days, the …
