A Man Dies From Eating a Hamburger and Babies Hospitalized With Botulism; Scary Headlines Explained By a Microbiologist

from Real-Time Crime · host iHeartPodcasts

This week we’ve seen some pretty frightening headlines about food allergies and food contamination. Microbiologist Michael Robach (yes, Amy’s Dad) sits down with T.J. and Amy to talk about how a common tick bite led to a meat allergy that killed a New Jersey man. It’s important information everyone should hear. Then we dive into the massive baby formula recall that sickened 23 infants with Botulism.  We talk about what botulism is, how it enters the food chain and what every parent needs to know.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
