    According to the Department of Preventive Medicine (Ministry of Health), streptococcus pig (Streptococus bacteria. Suis - S.suis) reside in most, throat, nose, can cause disease in pigs as hosts reduced strength and resistance. Even healthy pigs, it still can carry germs that contact with pigs may be infected with bacteria. Transmitted diseases, respiratory secretions, blood of pigs with bacteria.

    Absolutely do not eat pudding!

    In Vietnam often have a habit of using pudding dishes prepared from blood taken from the animal life such as: chickens, ducks, pigs, cows, and even drink live blood from the snake. Expert on food safety, Dr. Tran Van Ky (The Scientific and technical food safety in Vietnam) said: "The Western countries never use pudding dish; even the offal, organs of the animals (such as chicken heart, chicken gizzard, etc.) as well as their emission map. Blood pudding is essentially living carry a lot of germs, especially the blood of animals: pigs, chickens, ducks ... are infected. If pigs are infected, the source of its blood containing germs, bacteria. Therefore, users pudding from this animal will be at risk for diseases such as LCL, or helminth infections, infections of the gastrointestinal tract, meningitis ... ". Chickens, ducks are infected, most common is the flu, our users pudding will be at high risk for influenza A/H5N1, H1N1. "Not to mention, the last time continuous discovered many cases of swine diseases, chicken, or no control over slaughter slaughter, illegal transport; addition condition slaughter of livestock and poultry in the absence hygienic place a lot, so the use of pig blood pudding, chicken, duck is a very high risk of infection, affecting health, "BS Signed say.

    Lam Quoc ****, Head of Monitoring poisoning, Food Safety Department, said: "Absolutely not eat duck, nem chua, undercooked meat because of swine streptococcus infection, susceptible to meningitis pus. There are still selling status or cooking at home. The local media should promote people to say no to the dish containing dangerous pathogens. "


    In recent years, the number of cases of human disease caused by LCL tend to rise at the outbreak of blue ear disease in pigs. The reason is that when pigs infected with blue ear disease, weakened immune system causing bacteria thrive on, the source of infection to humans more easily. Tropical Disease Hospital Surgeons received LCL infections in people who recently joined slaughtering sick pigs. Currently, the LCL is not spread directly from person to person. Hot weather as well as time tends to increase in the cases of LCL. This is a favorable time for LCL growth, the risk of spreading more powerful.
