snoop1130 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Public urged to observe ‘hygienic way of life’ to avoid illness during high heat this summer By The Nation File photo With particularly high temperatures predicted this summer, the Disease Control Department has warned the public about the danger of five food- and water-borne diseases, including diarrhoea. It recommends that people observe a hygienic way of life through “Kin Ron” (eating hot meals), “Chon Klang” (using a serving spoon) and “Lang Meua” (washing hands), in order to prevent such illnesses. Department director-general Dr Suwanchai Wattanayingcharoen on Monday said a particularly hot climate helped accelerate the growth of germs and bacteria that can cause food-borne and water-borne diseases, namely diarrhea, food poisoning, dysentery, cholera and typhoid. He cited Bureau of Epidemiology statistics showing that this year so far, 144,948 people had suffered from diarrhea (resulting in one death), 15,801 from food poisoning, 196 from dysentery, 155 from typhoid, and one from cholera. Besides urging people to observe “Kin Ron”, “Chon Klang” and “Lang Meua”, Suwanchai said they should cook meals with clean ingredients and use hygienic methods, washing fruits and vegetables repeatedly, avoiding the use of the same knife and chopping board to cut raw and cooked food together, and generally keeping the house clean. If falling ill from such diseases, people could initially aid themselves by sipping clean water mixed with oral rehydration salts to prevent dehydration, but they should seek immediate medical attention if the symptoms become severe, he explained.

worgeordie Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 So the Disease Control Department is telling people to use common sense, wash hands before a meal and after the toilet, only eat hot freshly prepared meals, don't use a chopping board for cooked and uncooked meat,you would think people should already know these basic hygienic rules,but with all those cases of diarrhea, food poisoning, dysentery, and typhoid. it seems not regards worgeordie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lupatria Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) Be prepared to read this soon: Only one day after the FDA and the Disease Control Department checked hygienic standards of street food vendors and wet markets, resulting in closure of 100 stalls in Bangkok, 500.000 vendors applied for a taxi license.

HAKAPALITA Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Why do these articles have stupid phonetic thai inserts, {Kin} etc. Im sorry, but it annoys me as much as those ferangs who babble at 7/11 Cashiers, showing off their garbled Thai. Even the Thais just say Hi, OK and Thanks then get out the bloody way.!!.

No one can do it like a Northern Brit, my lot are either too Drunk or Quiet, the Germans are void of any humour whatsoever, and the few Spanish we get here are to busy looking for a Bull to Stab. My Fav are the Australians who eat anything, enjoy life and a day in the Dunny is a way of life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAKAPALITA Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I am Old, I am sorry, but a Dog can be Born in a Stable, but he is not a Horse. A True North Brit wears a Cap, the right way round, goes on strike when the Daffodils come out to sympathise, yet is strangely immune to this Topic from having a Gut lined with years of Chip Fat.
