One of the biggest problem with modern grains is that they arenât the same as they used to be a few hundred years agoâ¦ or even a few decades ago! And grains consumed in the U.S. arenât the same as the grains eaten in other countriesâ¦ especially when it comes to wheat. A Couple Hundred Years Agoâ¦.
1 Bacillus cereus Bacillus cereus is a spore forming bacterium that produces toxins that cause vomiting or diarrhoea. Symptoms are generally mild and short-lived (up to 24 hours).B. cereus is commonly found in the environment (e.g. soil) as well as a variety of foods. Spores are able to survive harsh environments including normal cooking temperatures.Description of the organism B. cereus is a Gram-positive, motile (flagellated), spore-forming, rod shaped bacterium that belongs to the Bacillus genus.pores are able to survive harsh environments including normal cooking temperatures.

Although Bacillus cereus is known mainly as an agent of food poisoning, other infections caused by this organism have been documented in immunocompromised patients, including sepsis, meningitis, pneumonia, and wound infections (1,2).ongastrointestinal infections are usually the result of a breakdown in natural protective barriers such as the skin or immune system (1,2,5). The findings in this report indicate that immunocompetent persons can be vulnerable to cutaneous B. cereus infections when skin is compromised.
