Wow...Undercooked Chicken Can Cause Autoimmune Disease

Never saw this coming..If you have the right genetic makeup you could be vulnerable to a bacterium in chicken. Plus in some patient antibiotics make things worse.

NEW EVIDENCE SHOWSHOW BACTERIUM IN UNDERCOOKED CHICKEN CAUSES GBS

If chicken isn't cooked to the proper minimum internal temperature, bacteria can still exist.

“What our work has told us is that it takes a certain genetic makeup combined with a certain Campylobacter strain to cause this disease,” said Linda Mansfield, lead author and MSU College of Veterinary Medicine professor. “The concerning thing is that many of these strains are resistant to antibiotics and our work shows that treatment with some antibiotics could actually make the disease worse.”

GBS is the world’s leading cause of acute neuromuscular paralysis in humans and despite much speculation, the exact mechanisms of how this autoimmune disease develops have been widely unknown.

“We have successfully produced three preclinical models of GBS that represent two different forms of the syndrome seen in humans,” Mansfield said. “Our models now provide a unique opportunity to understand how your personal genetic type may make you more susceptible to certain forms of GBS.”
