Answer 1

“Consumers – especially the elderly, children, pregnant women, and people with compromised immune systems – should take extra precautions when eating raw or under-cooked foods, and sushi in particular,” said William Marler, managing partner of Marler Clark.

“Even though raw foods may look appetizing, it only takes a microscopic amount of E. coli and other pathogenic bacteria to make someone ill. The food doesn’t even have to taste bad. I’ve had many clients tell me the meal that made them sick was one of the best meals they’ve ever had.”

Several outbreaks have been traced to sushi in recent years, including E. coli outbreaks in Japan in 1996 and 1998, a 1999 Salmonella outbreak in California, a 2001 staphylococcus aureus outbreak in Ohio, and a 2002 Norovirus outbreak in British Columbia, Canada.

Marler, who has represented hundreds of E. coli victims, represented a Seattle high school student who was hospitalized after consuming contaminated Sushi in 2002. The boy’s illness was traced to a Redmond, Washington, Todai sushi restaurant.

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

As the consumption of raw foods gains popularity, some unsafe foods have entered human diets. The following should be consumed with caution

Buckwheat greens, particularly if juiced or eaten in large quantities by fair skinned individuals. The chemical component Fagopyrum is known to cause photosensitivity of the skin in animals and some serious human side effects have been reported anecdotally.
Rhubarb: When eaten in sufficient quantity leaves can be toxic when raw, stalks are completely safe to eat when harvested early.
Kidney beans, including sprouts: toxic when raw.
Raw animal products contain bacteria and may contain parasites, which may cause sickness. Heating to an adequately high temperature will destroy bacteria and parasites.

''Man is not a definitive host, so the larvae will not grow or increase in number,'' Dr. Roberto said. ''In the mildest and most frequent cases, the worm lodges in the throat and is coughed up. If it invades the intestinal wall it can cause inflammation, nausea, cramps and diarrhea and will last anywhere from a day to a week, after which it will be over.
