Colorful chicks .. a danger that our children are exposed to on the feast


Nawal Pro wrote in “Call of the Homeland”: With the approaching Easter, the joy is renewed by the memory of the resurrection of Christ, which carries joyful rituals inherited by generations. On this holiday, most Christians are busy preparing the Maamoul and color boiled eggs with spring colors. Parallel to these good habits, a dark trade that takes advantage of the energy of the Eid colors, which is the colored chicks trade that flourishes on all holidays, but its climax is on the occasion of Easter.

Certainly, the process of coloring chicks is not a nice process as the forms of these “chicks”, which are usually short, are short because of what is passed in it. This process may take place in 3 methods: either by spraying the sauce with dyes, or by injecting the dyes inside the egg before it is lost. As for the third most common method due to its speed and license, it is the collection of the chicks in one bowl, emptying the colored materials on it, then mixing them manually as if they were devoid of sensation.
Away from the animal rights that may not receive attention from some, it is necessary to alert the danger of this trade on your children. The colorful chinan in particular is a fertile environment for the dangerous salmonella bacteria, as it arises in an unclean and unsafe environment. The colors used to dye the chyssian cause weakness in their immunity because they often contain chemicals, and this makes them more vulnerable to pregnancy and spreading bacteria.

The most important of all is that salmonella bacteria are easily transmitted to humans.
“The danger of infection with these bacteria lies in its ability to cause a rapid loss of fluid, which threatens, especially individuals with weak immunity, such as children, the elderly and patients. It may also lead to death in some cases.”

In the context of talking about Salmonella infection, Dr. Azar that “symptoms usually appear after picked up bacteria between 12 hours and 96 hours. But in some few cases, these symptoms appear after a week.”

Salmonella infection is treated with antibiotics, with the need to compensate the body for liquids lost across sera, according to Dr. Azar.

Dr. Azar should refrain from buying poultry, especially colored chicks, for entertainment purposes.
