@ whoever titled this video, Shigella is a bacteria and not a virus. Bacteria and viruses have a lot of differences between them, so it's important not to mix them up!

I got shigellosis two weeks ago from my brother. Had to receive an IV in the hospital because I couldn't keep hydrated enough. Worse tummy ache I've ever felt from diarrhea. A week of constant diarrhea sometimes a bit bloody, it finally started to calm down. I don't wish this on anybody. The worse part is the fever. You feel too weak and walking to the bathroom feels like walking 10 miles. But you have to go almost every hour. And taking any anti diarrhea meds is the worse thing you could do to yourself so you just have to cope with it for 5-7 days.
You’re incredibly RIGHT NO anti Diarrhea meds during any type of viral or bacterial diabetes - unless a HOSPITAL STAFF gives it to you. Just STAY HUDRATED is all you can do! 5mls of water every 5mins is what nurses told me !
@@JeanineH Exactly. The reason why your body is giving you diarrhea is to get rid of bad bacterias and the toxins they produce in your gut. If you take anti diarrheal meds, you are keeping the bad stuff inside and it can lead to worse things afterwards. Diarrhea suck, but it's often the safest and quickest option out of a stomach bug. Only medical staff should decide when to give such meds. Or if you really are in a pinch, say during a plane flight.
My child contracted Typhoid from a restaurant. It took over 6 month to get diagnode and it was 2 years to recover. Someone simply did not wash their hands prior to his food prep.
My buddy developed chigellosis after a trip to Calcutta, but he forgot to tell the doctor he'd been there. The doctor was stumped, then Dx'd correctly in complete wonderment til he asked my pal if he'd been out of the country. A positive reply earned my pal a severe dressing-down, and the correct Tx. He recovered rapidly then.
I remember being 9 walking into a gas station bathroom, seeing a toddler so violently ill. I asked the mom if she needed help, she told me go to the cashier and have them call and ambulance. To this day I still think of the child and how she is doing. This happened 13 years ago. Just typing this made me cry
My suggestion is try to figure out the date it happened and where it happened and look up disease with the pieces of info and you may be able to find some thing I have looked up many things happening around me or even validated someone’s story once which they had a lot of false info and inaccuracy of what they were saying that was meant to spread misinformation.

These are excellent videos because some of us are students in medical topics & work in health related professions. Some of us find this stuff fascinating & a great, important learning experience. No matter what year it happened. One of my total favorite books of all time is The Hot Zone. I love this stuff, the investigation & detective work, the fast-paced emergency, the massive teamwork, how the medical workers handle such stress, the medical topics, microbiology, anatomy & physiology, and especially the heroism in finding where the mistakes happened & in following the scientific process in saving people. Plus, these videos teach about our medical history as a culture. These events teach us more on how to avoid outbreaks, save people, change sanitation practices & legislate better to ensure safety!
THIS is ALSO found in ponds...My sister got very sick when she was about 6 and it turned out it was from a local pond and there were multiple people sick from same thing. She was really sick we werent sure if she would live.. ill never forget it.
@@burg3r_devourer_921 In rural areas, we swim in ponds and creeks. By late August, rains are replaced by 100⁰ temps so water gets stagnant. We avoid swimming when water levels down so low that water gets skunky.

I was a bacteriology tech back in the 1960s and working with a good-sized outbreak of Shigella sonnei (spelling?), also known as Group D Shigella, a gram negative rod. After working with over a dozen stool cultures, I managed to get shigellosis myself. It is like a very nasty dystentary with bloody stools, pain, and high fever. After working so many years in microbiology, this was the only microorganism I became infected with! There are, or were, 4 types of Shigella: A, B (dysentariae), C, and D (sonnei). I don’t remember the groups of A and C, which were, I suspect, more rare. I do remember that either A or C was Shigella flexneri. However, bacteriology (as practiced 65 years ago) was obviously quite different than in 2020 or 2021. These are my memories from long ago.
I worked as a Med Tech in the 1970s in a Micro lab. I loved identifying bugs. One colleague contracted shigella from a culture. She was pretty sick. It made all of us be more cautious.
@@daylehudson6810we don’t wear masks because they are not necessary. Most of us are very careful in how we handle cultures. And, I hope you’ve learned, viruses like Covid 19 pass right through masks.

I got food poisoning from Chinese. Something with chicken. I threw up about 3 hours later and within 5 hours I had kidney failure. I was hospitalized for 8 days and had to limit my fluid intake for over 8 months. It was devastating.
Jesus how did your kidneys fail so fast? I believe you 100% I just am curious for more information if you’re comfortable sharing, do they know what bacteria it was?
I do not remember this happening at all. What a horrible thing to have happen! I never truly appreciated how much work goes in to finding the source of such things. Thank God for people who make this their lives.
The investigation had been ongoing for 6 months (41:03). The municipal water chlorinator was out of service for one month. (43:56). That explains it. Of course, what is unstated is that the manager lied about how long.
I recall what this was. I won't say, but that they were able to figure it out is nothing short of a miracle. This is why restaurants who source locally and invest in a relationship with farmers for their needs are much less apt to be involved in tainted food outbreaks. This farm knew it was tainted and didn't care.
Why wasn't the water shut off if the chlorinator was vandalized? The other thing, the vandalism should have been reported to the authorities and possible criminal charges be applied to those who destroyed public property and inadvertently causing harm to millions of people eating contaminated produce by contaminated water. Why was there nobody reporting an issue before it became widespread?
I live in Auckland,New Zealand and I don't worry about getting food poisoning from eating out because the Auckland Regional Council enforces the 2014 Food Safety Legislation VERY strictly and they're not afraid to close down a cafe,restaurant or bar if there's food safety issues and most of the places serving food in Auckland have an "A" or "A"+ food safety rating which is a very good rating and it's the same across the rest of the country.
No matter how careful the government is, all it takes is someone who has it and doesn’t know they have it, or is a carrier of the bacteria, to spread the infection. The food safety laws are only as effective as the people cooking and serving your food are careful.
I got shigella when I was in my mid-20s (years ago). Pretty sure if I hadn't managed to call for help and get treatment, I would have died at home. It was absolutely awful.
So far I’ve only been hospitalized once in my life (knock on wood) and it was when I was 11 and contracted shigella. It made me so sick it was horrible. I know the public health called my parents but since nobody else got sick (that I know of) we never found out the source. Although I suspected it was from a school lunch because after that incident one of the option was mysteriously never on the menu again.
Yes, a big thank you to those committed to the safety and good health of others. Those that spend countless hours & miss out on personal & social events to ensure everyone's well being. Some folks can be lazy causing detrimental efforts to others (usually unk) but most folks take pride and responsibility in their careers. And to those I want to express my sincere gratitude 👏👏
"Investigators suspected the source of the illness was somewhere on the premises. But finding it would be difficult." -Proceeds to show someone chopping the source of the illness at 11:26. Lol.
Very interesting video. I'm so glad there were no Fatalaties. But when I saw the chef chopping up parseley he was so rude with the health offcials , just like chopping away not caring. The chopper got me peeved
When they discovered it came from parsley, they should have put out a warning to all restaurant owners to stop using it in their food and discard all of it. Was that done?
When I lived overseas, we washed our vegetables in bleach water then rinsed them before eating. We were told not to drink water or brush our teeth that had not been boiled and no ice cubes from public places.
Carrie Vaught imagine as a health care worker seeing them manufacturing masks in China by hand without gloves. Also handling the hospital supplies the same. Bad news.
This is odd, I have watched two of these, and it turns out it is in both cases where the water supply was machinery that was broke down and not repaired, both with the chorine system that would of prevented such a thing. One in Canada, and now this one. We are told not to drink the water if you go for a visit in Mexico, that you would get sick. Now we know better that it is more than just the water.
I & my entire family, somehow got Salmonella! It was either a Burger King or a Six Flags in St. Louis! Omg… they said even could have been someone in the park handling ice with dirty bare hands not washing after bathroom… ugh… it’s a miracle that my little boys have no damage… God intervened! 😮😮😮😢😢😢
Parsley is one food we can certainly live without and lose absolutely nothing nutritionally because there are a host of alternatives almost as cheap, equally healthy and similarly a bland tasting ingredient.
The waiter shouldn't be handling the food at all anyway. They touch a million things in the main dining area, so seeing that waiter dig his hands into that bowl of parsley just sickens me. The cooks have to wash their hands, (supposedly), but the fancy chefs don't think twice about their hands being nasty and they touch everything. And I don't believe they wash anything well, because they're in such a hurry.
I wish they would put the spelling of the virus so that we could read up more about it. Thank you for this educational vlog.👍❤👍I always cook my own food I am diabetic. 👍
Not virus big difference no cure for viruses you body has to manufacture antibodies for viruses hope fully with help from anti-virus bacterial infections respond to antibiotics just gotta figure out what the bacteria is
Not according to my parents. Because when they were younger produce was grown in the USA now we buy it from other countries because it’s cheaper because they don’t have the food regulations we do
I mean I went to a _resort_ in Mexico in 2010 and we were told not to drink the tap water bc it wasn't safe, so I'm hardly surprised that the farm workers weren't drinking it??? Tho I am surprised they were using it on the food...
I want to research when this procedure of importing our food from around the world started and why and how many people have gotten sick , we were fine when we grew our food in this country.
That's patently false. There have been many times, people ingested food (grown in the U.S.) that caused severe outbreaks. Look at the U.S. farm that grew fruit, they had something like 11 people die from listeria. Hundreds more were sickened.
Jovita Bazan Lopez One problem is that the banks have absolutely broken a majority of family farms. Farmers can barely make a living any more unless they have a lot of land & money to spare.
Except we have had multiple issues with our own food as well. Also there are foods that dont grow well here or can only be grown during certain times of year.
It's good to know about these things. As a 61 year old GREAT GRANDMA, this is something I've not been aware of. I more C Dif, MRSA, alot of infections due to being in Healthcare as a career and my parents health issues, but this one is not something I'm aware of. So i appreciate seeing this information.
A few years ago when I was grocery shopping I saw a guy eating nuts from the bulk bin and then he spit out the shells in the bend. The guy was very obnoxious and so was the female with him. I also came in contact with him and the female on two other occasions and they were jerks then too.
These bin food stores are so dangerous!! I used to shop at them until I watched kids eating directly from the bins. They were there with parents but they did nothing and didn't watch them. I gave them the stink eye and they hi-tailed it back to their parents. Don't even want to think what those kids were depositing into those bins😳😳😳
Health food stores have dry foods in large plastic bins. Various types of beans, nuts, seeds cereals and candy. You scoop out what you want, put the bin# on it, and are charged by the weight. Since Covid, the bins are now filled with plastic bags containing a pre-measured and priced quantity of the bin's contents. Unmonitored children can't snitch snacks as easily. That works for me!
Even at home I never drink tap water, always bottled as it’s so cheap anyway, when I went to Egypt I ate a tomato on the last night and was ill for 5 days!
I'm so happy we have government departments responsible for stopping these sort of things. People dont realize how important the cdc really is (until covid I guess)
A virus is really extremely small, and is not considered a living thing, (even though it's not completely dead material either). This episode however is about a bacteria, which is a living thing and is much bigger.
much more likely to be in a car accident, but i bet you still use a car. I do really enjoy going out with friends and family, for me its worth the risk. In 50 + years Ive had no problem.
@@moodrider Your lucky, I got a really bad case of food poisoning 11 years ago and spent a week in the hospital; stopping eating out; haven't been sick since.
I've only had minor food poisoning from one restaurant in my life, I enjoy occasionally eating out with friends and family. I don't live my life scared of everything
Fluffs .....that’s what I’m wondering....I have a daughter in Minneapolis and when I saw this I started the video and it says 1998 but it’s posted Jan 2020 !!!! I’m only 2 min into it so I’ll see if it has more updated info 🙄
That's because our governments prefer cheap labor to doing it within their own countries. Goes for just about everything we buy anymore, it's all made in China, India, etc., etc.
I'm always amazed at how well they make people look so sick in these documentaries. It's almost too realistic! The children who act in these recreations do an excellent job portraying children who are sick, too.
Water spray and a taped on iv bag. A good make up dept A good prop person gets all these things and keeps them. Except for oxygen masks, they are only used once. A show like this is professionally made for tv stations I am a film producer.
@@sandrastevens4418 and you dare share trade secrets? Hahaha Just kidding! I'm surprised the child actors do so well having to wear makeup, having to pretend they are sick, and having to be in a hospital - albeit not a real hospital. Kids usually hate being sick and in hospitals, of course, but they are good at "pretending." 🙂
This is why I do not eat at restaurants, fast food establishments or eat prepared food from any place. I do not go to outings where food is prefided. If I didn't cook the food myself I do not eat it. Getting food poisoning just one time was enough for me. My son is the same way.
@@julie.1081 Yikes! Are you so lame & uncreative that you cannot figure out any ways to have fun without eating out?? How ridiculous. I get out, have fun, hike, visit places with friends... I just mostly avoid eating out. And I'm a fantastic cook too, both from inherited family skills and working in catering & restaurants... whether I'm cooking indoors or outdoors! 😁👍 Very few restaurants anywhere can even cook as well as I do. I eat fabulously & I eat what I like, the way I prefer it, safely. And I do not live in fear, but in power, creativity and exuberance. So stop being limited in your thinking, sarcastic & boring. Lol. You're the one who greatly needs to expand your thinking - and to stop being shortsighted as well as dependent on other people!
Thanks grandma, now fuck off back to your retirement home and wait for the dementia to set in again. Should be age restrictions on these comments for old senile fuckers
Title wrong, shigella is a bacteria. I've had this, was in hospital just a night/day. No one was terribly interested in how I got it. I felt like I had eaten nails & broken glass. This was back in January '07, central Ky. My guts never went back to normal. Even had a colonoscopy to check for scarring- not fun either.
The cook was NOT wearing gloves and I don’t care who you are, you must wear gloves when you are handling and preparing other people’s food‼️ Here in CO. I have seen numerous chefs NOT wearing gloves while preparing everyone’s food‼️🤨
Um. At Angela's restaurant they threw away the produce. Why didn't they take it to a lab and look for shigella in it? Seems to me they could have got their answer right then.
They threw out the produce AFTER samples were taken. However, even if it came back positive they would have been unable to prove it came from the produce because the food handlers were already positive and could have contaminated it.
This programme is talking about 20-year-old cases, how about any updated versions? The information is still relevant but, there have been great strides taken since then...
More reason to grow/plant your own food & cook your own food. The Anabaptist communities in USA, Canada & South America have been doing this for hundreds of years.
We obviously can't depend on laws, rules, regulations, inspections, fines...any of it...to protect us in this country. Its all about the financial bottom line...they don't care if people get sick, or even die.
I had some sort of bacterial stomach bug from eating/drinking in Peru, I was trying to use only bottled water but we ate at many places, my mom and I both had diarrhea fever nausea etc but I was also throwing up too. It was rough but it thankfully didn’t last more than a day or two. A few days later I got COVID but I think it’s unrelated… but maybe why I was worse than my mom
Called Montezumas revenge ,common in forgin countrys your body isn't used to the bacteria in other countries natives aren't bothered by it because they grow up with it and there body has built up antibodies
(48:28) officials suspect that nearly 1000 people may have been infected. ALL that parsley over 6 MONTHS and only 1000 people? I’d like to know what it is about all the other people who must have had the parsley, that kept them from becoming ill, or at least ill enough to seek medical attention.
This type of condition could easily be seen in the Monsters Inside Me show. Just noticing that because some things are quite similar in that show and this one.

Why was there nobody reporting an issue before it became widespread?
Afraid to be held libel they'd get there butts sued off most water treatment plants are a corporation contracted by a city
I live in Auckland,New Zealand and I don't worry about getting food poisoning from eating out because the Auckland Regional Council enforces the 2014 Food Safety Legislation VERY strictly and they're not afraid to close down a cafe,restaurant or bar if there's food safety issues and most of the places serving food in Auckland have an "A" or "A"+ food safety rating which is a very good rating and it's the same across the rest of the country.
No matter how careful the government is, all it takes is someone who has it and doesn’t know they have it, or is a carrier of the bacteria, to spread the infection. The food safety laws are only as effective as the people cooking and serving your food are careful.

Washing hands .
@@spitfire577It absolutely helps, but we all know there are other ways to transmit.
I got shigella when I was in my mid-20s (years ago). Pretty sure if I hadn't managed to call for help and get treatment, I would have died at home. It was absolutely awful.
Oh wow...and it was that same year, too. I was part of the same outbreak.
I'm sorry you had to go thru that.....uggh I bet it was awful I could not and would not want to imagine.
So far I’ve only been hospitalized once in my life (knock on wood) and it was when I was 11 and contracted shigella. It made me so sick it was horrible. I know the public health called my parents but since nobody else got sick (that I know of) we never found out the source. Although I suspected it was from a school lunch because after that incident one of the option was mysteriously never on the menu again.
Now this is rampaging through the homeless in Portland, Oregon.
I’d never heard of Shigella until I seen a news report about it.
Seriously? I’m gonna hafta start watching the news
OMG sad!😢
Excellent video.
Shouldn't employees in produce depts also wear gloves while handling our fruits and vegetables?
Gloves and face mask for mouth
Fran G. our you know, wash your food
you need to remember that this was around 1998 XD Wasn't as important then, than it is now.
NO!!!
@@Pravda_Z . No what ... not wear gloves ??
Sicknesses work in interesting and terrifying ways.
Bravo...thanks for protecting us!
Yes, a big thank you to those committed to the safety and good health of others. Those that spend countless hours & miss out on personal & social events to ensure everyone's well being. Some folks can be lazy causing detrimental efforts to others (usually unk) but most folks take pride and responsibility in their careers. And to those I want to express my sincere gratitude 👏👏
Super teamwork! The best of mine is working together. I am thankful for you, and for the country I live in!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"Investigators suspected the source of the illness was somewhere on the premises. But finding it would be difficult."
-Proceeds to show someone chopping the source of the illness at 11:26. Lol.
Ha! Good catch!
Very Agatha Christie!
Foreshadowing.
hahaha, I'll second that! :)
Very interesting video. I'm so glad there were no Fatalaties. But when I saw the chef chopping up parseley he was so rude with the health offcials , just like chopping away not caring. The chopper got me peeved
When they discovered it came from parsley, they should have put out a warning to all restaurant owners to stop using it in their food and discard all of it. Was that done?
I love the medical detective work on this series. One complaint though, is that you got the title wrong. Shigella is a BACTERIA, not a virus.
Get real its narrated by a computer it can't tell the difference next you'll want biden to tell the truth impossible dream
When I lived overseas, we washed our vegetables in bleach water then rinsed them before eating. We were told not to drink water or brush our teeth that had not been boiled and no ice cubes from public places.
Rat Teardrops I was told to use those same precautions in Honduras. Similar precautions for parts of Mexico and Guatemala
Linda Nafziger vinegar water is better
Rat Teardrops Bolivia.
@tuberesu hahaha
yeah I've heard the ice cubes are always dangerous, my Spanish teacher said it about Spain bc she got food poisoning from ice there.
Activated Charcoal was shared with us over 40yrs. It has been a help to our family as a first line of defense... Charcoal RX by Agatha Thrash, MD.

In a vid documenting food borne illness, creeps me out to see food prep being done without gloves
Same!
That's why I really like to eat at home. And be very selective about where I dine out. You should see some restaurant kitchens.
Carrie Vaught imagine as a health care worker seeing them manufacturing masks in China by hand without gloves. Also handling the hospital supplies the same. Bad news.
Pamela Raney I agree. I worked in health care for most of my career, and my husband is a first responder. Bad news indeed!
And some labwork without gloves or masks or goggles. Sheesh.
This is odd, I have watched two of these, and it turns out it is in both cases where the water supply was machinery that was broke down and not repaired, both with the chorine system that would of prevented such a thing. One in Canada, and now this one. We are told not to drink the water if you go for a visit in Mexico, that you would get sick. Now we know better that it is more than just the water.
I & my entire family, somehow got Salmonella! It was either a Burger King or a Six Flags in St. Louis! Omg… they said even could have been someone in the park handling ice with dirty bare hands not washing after bathroom… ugh… it’s a miracle that my little boys have no damage… God intervened! 😮😮😮😢😢😢
Grow parsley in your backyard and eat that.
Keep the cats away from your garden.
Parsley is one food we can certainly live without and lose absolutely nothing nutritionally because there are a host of alternatives almost as cheap, equally healthy and similarly a bland tasting ingredient.
I'm in an apartment and grow my herbs on my windowsill garden. Cilantro, parsley, basil, and microgreens.
@@nunyabuisness7552 and what are the please?
I can’t grow anything... I either kill it or the raccoons and such dig it up
Grate job guys thank u for the effort u guys show
My nephew is 16 months old the thought of him getting shigella or e coli scares me!😰
That's why we don't eat out any where! Just at home and make sure it's cooked well and washed before we make it!
I prefer eating at home also...
I don't like to eat out .
That's an extreme. No germs isn't good either.
The waiter shouldn't be handling the food at all anyway. They touch a million things in the main dining area, so seeing that waiter dig his hands into that bowl of parsley just sickens me. The cooks have to wash their hands, (supposedly), but the fancy chefs don't think twice about their hands being nasty and they touch everything. And I don't believe they wash anything well, because they're in such a hurry.
And grow your own herbs in your backyard :)
I wish they would put the spelling of the virus so that we could read up more about it. Thank you for this educational vlog.👍❤👍I always cook my own food I am diabetic. 👍
Shigella (shigellosis)
It's a bacteria
Not virus big difference no cure for viruses you body has to manufacture antibodies for viruses hope fully with help from anti-virus bacterial infections respond to antibiotics just gotta figure out what the bacteria is
wow just a few weeks before this Pandemic changed our lives. I had food poisoning before but nothing to the extreme they had.
Was this one of the first major multi-state food poisoning outbreaks? This seems common now, but was it not as frequent in the past?
Not according to my parents. Because when they were younger produce was grown in the USA now we buy it from other countries because it’s cheaper because they don’t have the food regulations we do
I mean I went to a _resort_ in Mexico in 2010 and we were told not to drink the tap water bc it wasn't safe, so I'm hardly surprised that the farm workers weren't drinking it??? Tho I am surprised they were using it on the food...
I want to research when this procedure of importing our food from around the world started and why and how many people have gotten sick , we were fine when we grew our food in this country.
That's patently false. There have been many times, people ingested food (grown in the U.S.) that caused severe outbreaks. Look at the U.S. farm that grew fruit, they had something like 11 people die from listeria. Hundreds more were sickened.
I'm with you about growing our own food exclusively. We can monitor it better and not worry half as much of being lied to.
except for that romaine lettuce that got us twice.
Jovita Bazan Lopez One problem is that the banks have absolutely broken a majority of family farms. Farmers can barely make a living any more unless they have a lot of land & money to spare.
Except we have had multiple issues with our own food as well. Also there are foods that dont grow well here or can only be grown during certain times of year.
As soon as I saw the guy chopping the parsley at the beginning of the video,... It's the parsley.
Bless your family! Thanks for sharing.
Would have been nice to know what happened in the farm community - how many became I'll and did they get life-saving care?
It's good to know about these things. As a 61 year old GREAT GRANDMA, this is something I've not been aware of. I more C Dif, MRSA, alot of infections due to being in Healthcare as a career and my parents health issues, but this one is not something I'm aware of. So i appreciate seeing this information.
A few years ago when I was grocery shopping I saw a guy eating nuts from the bulk bin and then he spit out the shells in the bend. The guy was very obnoxious and so was the female with him. I also came in contact with him and the female on two other occasions and they were jerks then too.
They may have been ill, dying of a STD or other virus or bacterium, purposely trying to infect others. Many many humans have done such things.
These bin food stores are so dangerous!! I used to shop at them until I watched kids eating directly from the bins. They were there with parents but they did nothing and didn't watch them. I gave them the stink eye and they hi-tailed it back to their parents. Don't even want to think what those kids were depositing into those bins😳😳😳
@@karenacton3854 what on earth is a bin store shop??like how does that work etc im british
Health food stores have dry foods in large plastic bins. Various types of beans, nuts, seeds cereals and candy. You scoop out what you want, put the bin# on it, and are charged by the weight. Since Covid, the bins are now filled with plastic bags containing a pre-measured and priced quantity of the bin's contents. Unmonitored children can't snitch snacks as easily. That works for me!
Even at home I never drink tap water, always bottled as it’s so cheap anyway, when I went to Egypt I ate a tomato on the last night and was ill for 5 days!
TH-cam, if you are going to interrupt classic shows with ads, you could at least time them to the original commercial breaks.
Sigh.....get AdBlock Plus...it's free and works on most platforms. Good luck!
Maybe the do that so you will pay for premium with no commercials.
@@AussieBrit seriously , I always see people complain about ads but I haven't seen a TH-cam ads in years 😂
You may wish to edit the title, it’s incorrect. This episode is about a bacteria, not a virus.
I'm so happy we have government departments responsible for stopping these sort of things. People dont realize how important the cdc really is (until covid I guess)
Very true I think we take a lot for granted 😉
Lol the government is never the solution….but always the problem. Never depend on them to ‘keep us safe.’
@@Timbergal if someone robs you are you just gonna deal with it yourself
CDC? Thankful?
@@youngforever1445 yup
A virus is really extremely small, and is not considered a living thing, (even though it's not completely dead material either). This episode however is about a bacteria, which is a living thing and is much bigger.
In this reconstruction i noticed that (possible) contaminated water/source is touched/collected WITHOUT protecting gloves, and WITH bare hands......
And that right there is why I don't eat out I buy grass-fed beef and I cook my own meals we don't eat out and we live in a small town
Smart I do the same...
much more likely to be in a car accident, but i bet you still use a car. I do really enjoy going out with friends and family, for me its worth the risk. In 50 + years Ive had no problem.
@@moodrider Your lucky, I got a really bad case of food poisoning 11 years ago and spent a week in the hospital; stopping eating out; haven't been sick since.
@@Gloria-ro4vn Oh yuk, that's horrible Gloria. I have had food poisoning too but from a family gathering, its nasty.
I've only had minor food poisoning from one restaurant in my life, I enjoy occasionally eating out with friends and family. I don't live my life scared of everything
I wonder if this was posted because of the Novel Coronavirus
Fluffs .....that’s what I’m wondering....I have a daughter in Minneapolis and when I saw this I started the video and it says 1998 but it’s posted Jan 2020 !!!!
I’m only 2 min into it so I’ll see if it has more updated info 🙄
I’m guessing yes. I’ve had a lot of outbreak vids show up lately.
Thinking the same exact thing ...check out local news in the same area
This is worse cause it's a virus
it came from a single restaurant that had unwashed and unrefrigerated Parsley. Kind of scary how fast food can go huh?
Dysentry is the more common name for it in the UK
Dysentery different its easly cured with over the counter meds
So much food from china ans thailand on our grocery shelves .
Yep, bad bad!
That's because our governments prefer cheap labor to doing it within their own countries. Goes for just about everything we buy anymore, it's all made in China, India, etc., etc.
Based off every comment i've seen for this series (not just this episode) I think I can safely say TH-cam comments were a mistake.
Yep, yours definitely is. A mistake, that is.
@@AussieBrit Honestly not even gonna deny that lol
@@vivianameganviviana3486 At least you're not in denial. That's a good thing.
I'm always amazed at how well they make people look so sick in these documentaries. It's almost too realistic!
The children who act in these recreations do an excellent job portraying children who are sick, too.
Water spray and a taped on iv bag. A good make up dept A good prop person gets all these things and keeps them.
Except for oxygen masks, they are only used once.
A show like this is professionally made for tv stations
I am a film producer.
@@sandrastevens4418 and you dare share trade secrets? Hahaha Just kidding! I'm surprised the child actors do so well having to wear makeup, having to pretend they are sick, and having to be in a hospital - albeit not a real hospital. Kids usually hate being sick and in hospitals, of course, but they are good at "pretending." 🙂
Very fine detective work by all the detectives!!
Great informative content, two thumbs up.
Damn, I’m never going to eat food again.
Let me know how that turns out. hahaha.
@@smmargret6300 - 😀😀 it was a good joke. I guess he/she forgot to add the words “in restaurants”
@@smmargret6300 - And they received 10 likes too..... ha Ha Ha
The way they explained the DNA of the bacteria was so interesting
Excellent documentary 👍
In the beginning I just knew it was gonna be some local factory or something dumping waste illegally. Glad I was wrong.
Me too.
I think my food poisoning in Peru was likely E. coli or another common bacteria in water/food in many countries, which is closely related to shigella!
All food handlers must wash hands frequently and wear plastic gloves when touching food! Change gloves often too.
Didn't they say that it was a customer that actually spread this illness to people including the actual employees???
No.
This a bacteria not a virus.
You might want to change "virus" in the title here, since you're talking about a bacterial infection.
This is why I do not eat at restaurants, fast food establishments or eat prepared food from any place. I do not go to outings where food is prefided. If I didn't cook the food myself I do not eat it. Getting food poisoning just one time was enough for me. My son is the same way.
sweetscatlady Yikes! Do you get out much? You can't live life scared of what might happen. Take a chance.
Same here. I've had food poisoning more than once. I'm mostly the same way as you now.
@@julie.1081 Yikes! Are you so lame & uncreative that you cannot figure out any ways to have fun without eating out?? How ridiculous.
I get out, have fun, hike, visit places with friends... I just mostly avoid eating out. And I'm a fantastic cook too, both from inherited family skills and working in catering & restaurants... whether I'm cooking indoors or outdoors! 😁👍
Very few restaurants anywhere can even cook as well as I do. I eat fabulously & I eat what I like, the way I prefer it, safely. And I do not live in fear, but in power, creativity and exuberance. So stop being limited in your thinking, sarcastic & boring. Lol.
You're the one who greatly needs to expand your thinking - and to stop being shortsighted as well as dependent on other people!
Iahel Cathartes Aura ... You know food from the grocery store can be contaminated too, right?
Thanks grandma, now fuck off back to your retirement home and wait for the dementia to set in again. Should be age restrictions on these comments for old senile fuckers
Title wrong, shigella is a bacteria.
I've had this, was in hospital just a night/day. No one was terribly interested in how I got it. I felt like I had eaten nails & broken glass. This was back in January '07, central Ky. My guts never went back to normal. Even had a colonoscopy to check for scarring- not fun either.
Why are old documentaries posted instead of new outbreaks from 2000-2020 not 1996 or 1998
yes know I'm with you on that🙋♂️👨🚀, be safe AND keep clean
what do you mean
To keep everyone in fear.
Maybe because this type of thing hasn't happened since then.
Because they are intelligent to say go check. Everything is suspect about the issue.
The cook was NOT wearing gloves and I don’t care who you are, you must wear gloves when you are handling and preparing other people’s food‼️ Here in CO. I have seen numerous chefs NOT wearing gloves while preparing everyone’s food‼️🤨
Um. At Angela's restaurant they threw away the produce. Why didn't they take it to a lab and look for shigella in it? Seems to me they could have got their answer right then.
Because, at first, they believed the employee was the cause!
They threw out the produce AFTER samples were taken. However, even if it came back positive they would have been unable to prove it came from the produce because the food handlers were already positive and could have contaminated it.
This programme is talking about 20-year-old cases, how about any updated versions? The information is still relevant but, there have been great strides taken since then...
We no longer have a clue what is in our food or where it comes from. I stopped eating out and I also don't eat meat if I don't know where it came from
They talk about the county fair being a source but show the STATE fair. If it was the state fair it would have been so much worse.
Bad "documentary" culturing stool samples without gloves
Just a reenactment but not a good example ☹️
Also, NO mask or eye protection.
A reenactment, they should have thought of that.
@Denise Uhlry
Disappointing. That is ALL I can say.
I saw that...😱
More reason to grow/plant your own food & cook your own food. The Anabaptist communities in USA, Canada & South America have been doing this for hundreds of years.
I dont know if this is related to the corona virus or not but my mind is thinking lots of things right now
It's not related m
We obviously can't depend on laws, rules, regulations, inspections, fines...any of it...to protect us in this country. Its all about the financial bottom line...they don't care if people get sick, or even die.
Shigella from the parsley...geez.
J X Back in 1996 I got Shigella from eating salad in Aruba! I almost died! It was horrible
Why it’s extremely important to properly wash your hands and also wear gloves!
26:04 the Minnesota State Fair best food ever love it every year 12 days
I would be wearing gloves if I was that health worker
I had some sort of bacterial stomach bug from eating/drinking in Peru, I was trying to use only bottled water but we ate at many places, my mom and I both had diarrhea fever nausea etc but I was also throwing up too. It was rough but it thankfully didn’t last more than a day or two. A few days later I got COVID but I think it’s unrelated… but maybe why I was worse than my mom
Called Montezumas revenge ,common in forgin countrys your body isn't used to the bacteria in other countries natives aren't bothered by it because they grow up with it and there body has built up antibodies
(48:28) officials suspect that nearly 1000 people may have been infected. ALL that parsley over 6 MONTHS and only 1000 people? I’d like to know what it is about all the other people who must have had the parsley, that kept them from becoming ill, or at least ill enough to seek medical attention.
Better microbiome, better immune system, maybe better rinsing of vegetables
35:53 are we just not goin to mention he drops the "C" bomb 😂😂
C*ntamination.
This type of condition could easily be seen in the Monsters Inside Me show.
Just noticing that because some things are quite similar in that show and this one.
