It's finally feeling like fall and there are a ton of things to do in Montreal to celebrate this seasonal change. From fall festivals to dance parties, here's what's going down this weekend. Visit MTLBlog for more headlines. September hit us all like a ton of bricks. I know I am not the only person that feels like summer came and went in the blink of an eye. Before we know it, our city is going to turn into a giant skating rink, and before that happens, I want to make sure I make the most of sweater weather, which just so happens to be my favourite fashion season! This weekend, there are so many interesting things going on in and around our city that it would be a shame to not take advantage of them! Of particular note are the fall festivals that have already begun to pop up in the Montreal area! I know I sound like a broken record, but we really are lucky to live in a city that has so much to offer. From cool festivals and conventions to family friendly activities and live shows, this weekend is really going to be a good one.

La rĂ©ponse est simple, non . Il ne faut pas nĂ©cessairement avoir peur du Clostridium botulinum, lâagent causal du botulisme, dans nos fermentations puisque la bactĂ©rie nâest pas dangereuse en soi. Câest plutĂŽt la toxine botulinum que la bactĂ©rie produit qui est trĂšs dangereuse. Ă titre dâinformation, cette toxine est lâagent principal du botox dĂ» Ă sa capacitĂ© Ă paralyser les muscles et donc dâestomper les rides. Bref, tout ca ne sonne pas joyeux mais nâayez pas peur, il y a plusieurs raisons de ne pas sâinquiĂ©ter de retrouver la toxine dans nos fermentations . PremiĂšrement, la bactĂ©rie Clostridium botulinum est retrouvĂ©e dans le sol. DĂšs que lâon touche le sol, nous avons probablement cette bactĂ©rie sur nos mains. Toutefois, nous sommes en contact avec la forme dormante de la bactĂ©rie et elle ne produit la toxine que lorsque les conditions sont propices. Lorsque les aliments sont fermentĂ©s, les conditions sont trĂšs peu propices Ă la formation de toxine par le Clostridium botulinum . DeuxiĂšmement, la bactĂ©rie ne peut produire de toxine si le pH des aliments se trouve en-dessous de 4.6. Ă titre indicatif, le pH du jus de tomate est en bas de 4.6 et le pH dâune pomme se trouve autour de 3.5. Ceci Ă©tant dit, la majoritĂ© des fruits ont aussi un pH en dessous de 4.6 . TroisiĂšmement, la bactĂ©rie Clostridium botulinum est trĂšs sensible Ă la prĂ©sence de sel. La bactĂ©rie sera inhibĂ©e par une fermentation contenant du sel . QuatriĂšmement, la bactĂ©rie Clostridium botulinum est une bactĂ©rie de type anaĂ©robie obligatoire. Les anaĂ©robies obligatoires meurent en prĂ©sence dâoxygĂšne. Ainsi, dĂšs que la bactĂ©rie Clostridium botulinum est exposĂ© Ă lâair, elle ne pourra survivre. . CinquiĂšmement, la bactĂ©rie Clostridium botulinum ne prolifĂšre pas bien dans les environnements qui sont surpeuplĂ©s dâautres types de bactĂ©ries. Dans nos fermentations maison, la bactĂ©rie est entourĂ©e de bactĂ©ries bĂ©nĂ©fiques qui empĂȘchent sa croissance. . Finalement, la toxine est facilement dĂ©truite Ă tempĂ©rature Ă©levĂ©e (Ă©bullition) A post shared by FERMENT FEST MONTRĂAL (@fermentfestmontreal) on Aug 17, 2019 at 3:34pm PDT When: September 14; 10 a.m. Where: 7070 Avenue Henri-Julien; MarchĂ© Jean-Talon Website Attend a Crafts Fair View this post on Instagram A post shared by Eden Natureâs Best (@laboutikeden) on Jun 6, 2019 at 7:34pm PDT When: Sept 14 â 15 Where: 1871 Boulevard Rosemont Cost: FREE to attend!
