https://nutritionfacts.org/subscribe/ DESCRIPTION: A neuropathic strain of the fecal bacteria Campylobacter found in poultry can trigger Guillain-Barré syndrome, a rapid and life-threatening paralysis. Have a question about this video? Leave it in the comment section at
http://nutritionfacts.org/videos/poultry-and-paralysis/ and I'll try to answer it! How common is fecal contamination of retail chicken? See Fecal Residues in Chicken (
http://nutritionfacts.org/video/fecal-residues-on-chicken/), and for meat in general, my video Fecal Bacteria Survey (
http://nutritionfacts.org/video/fecal-bacteria-survey/). And for a discussion of other neurological conditions that may be linked to poultry consumption, see yesterday's video (
http://nutritionfacts.org/video/poultry-exposure-and-neurological-disease/). There's also a strain of E. coli in chicken that causes urinary tract infections: Chicken Out of UTIs (
