I don't want to scare
everybody about oysters, but
a recent report in the
Journal of the American
Medical Association
deserves attention The
report raises serious
questions about the
adequacy of shellfish
sanitation monitoring
systems.
We now know that oysters
that had met government
safety standards caused two
outbreaks of hepatitis - in
Huston, Texas, and in
Calhoun, Georgia, in 1973.
The outbreaks were traced
to oysters from two bays in
the East Delta marshes of
Southern Louisiana.
THE BAYS had been
polluted by flood waters
from the Mississippi River in
the spring and summer, and
had been closed to oyster
harvesting for some weeks.
Harvesting was resumed in

Comullanl, National Dairy Council
early fall after late summer
tests found the waters to tie
safe again
But even though the tests
met government standards,
they apparently failed to
detect contamination of the
shellfish with the hepatitis
virus This is what has raised
the concern reported by
physicians at the Center for
Disease Contra, in Atlanta,
Georgia.
Present water safety tests
measure the amount of
collform bacteria, but they
do not reveal virus content of
the water.
“The existing data raise
serious questions about the
adequacy of our monitoring
for the purity of shellfish
growing areas,” one of the
physicians states.
THIS IS an interesting
problem because there is a
program for oyster safety -
the National Shellfish
Sanitation Program. And
prior to the reported out
breaks, no epidemic of clam
- or oyster - associated
hepatitis had been celarly
traced to shellfish harvested
in an area meeting the
national standards.
WHAT IS involved is that
oysters can kilter as many as
40 liters of water per hour to
obtain oxygen and nutrients,
and through lhi» process
they may be exposed to
tremendous amounts of
microorganisms in polluted
water
"Shellfish sanitation
agencies must explore new
techniques, particularly
virologic systems, to aid in
the certification of oyster
and clam growing areas,"
say the Center for Disease
Control authorities.

When we were borrowing
customs from other cultures,
who was the idiot who passed
up the siesta?
A woman had gotten a cat
from the Cat Protective
League. A few days later she
called, saying she could not
keep the animal. “I love the
cat very much,” she ex
plained, “but he kills birds. I
just cannot have a bird killer
in my house. I’m sorry to
inconvenience you, but to
make it up to you I promise
that I will convince my
husband to make a con
tribution to the League, just
as soon as he gets back from
his duck hunting tnp."
