back2basics- Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 Let this be a lesson to us all Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was killed by eating pork, a new report suggests. The world famous Austrian composer, who died in 1791, showed the symptoms of a disease caused by eating badly-cooked pork infected by a worm, an American doctor has said. Mozart's symptoms, including a fever, rash, limb pain and swelling, match those brought on by trichinosis, according to Dr Jan V Hirschmann of Seattle's Puget Sound Veterans Affairs Medical Center. His death was put down to a "severe miliary fever" at the time, and no autopsy was carried out. Letter Previous theories about what killed the composer, who died aged 35, include rheumatic fever, kidney stones, heart disease, pneumonia and poisoning. There have also been suggestions of foul play concerning rival composer Antonio Salieri. But Dr Hirschmann points to a letter Mozart wrote to his wife 44 days before he fell ill. A rheumatic fever theory was announced last year "What do I smell?... pork cutlets! Che Gusto (What a delicious taste). I eat to your health," he wrote. Trichinosis has an incubation period of about 50 days, says Dr Hirschmann, who is an infectious disease specialist. His eight-page report is based on details from medical literature, historical documents and biographies. Dr Hirschmann admitted that not being able to be proved wrong "makes it much more enjoyable to speculate". Theories Mozart's grave was dug up seven years after his death so it could be reused, and his remains were dispersed. Dr Faith Fitzgerald, Davis professor of music at the University of California, last year put forward the theory that Mozart died of rheumatic fever. She said there were about 150 different theories about the cause of the composer's death. "It does strike me as somewhat strange the investment people have in something that is virtually unknowable," she said. Doctors like to speculate on the composer's death because "it's fun and because it's Mozart," Dr Fitzgerald said. ------------------I want to go out blazing..not fade away.Trust in the currency of relationships, it's hard to earn but easy to loose - back2basics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two different ways to prepare sushi... Sashimi which is the large chunks o' fish over a large bed of rice usually with several other pieces of sashimi, vs. Nigiri Sushi which is the slightly smaller piece served individually on it's own bit o' rice.... I know this is way off the original topic, but since it was brought up.... ------------------ Hughemail: ibhugh@yahoo.comaolim: hugesk8r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this is way off the original topic, but since it was brought up.... sort of correct, sushi is the sushi roll, sashimi is the raw fish.....like tuna........so u get a sush/sahimi 'boat' and it has sushi rolls (rice with whatever wrapped in seaweed), and the sashimi is the perfectly cut slices of raw 'sashimi grade' fish.......trust the Sydney sider and the san franciscan to be debating this on a NY board in any case I prefer some mixed Tempura, but my favourite Japanese substance would have to be Asahi super dry ------------------Where did my liver go?....................... boa_boy@yahoo.com YIM boa_boy AIM boaboyOZ [This message has been edited by boa_boy (edited 06-12-2001).] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
