Pancake syndrome is a disease in which a person gets symptoms after eating food contaminated with particular mites. The disease name comes from reports of people becoming ill after eating pancakes made from contaminated flour. Mites suspected as causing the condition are ''Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus'', ''Blomia tropicalis'', and ''Suidasia pontifica''. The latter two are the most likely to have caused the harmful effects, and they live in tropical and subtropical environments.〔 Because the disease is transmitted by pancakes and other cooked food, scientists expect that this means that the pathogen can survive the heat of cooking. Storing flour at low temperature in a freezer could prevent contamination or kill existing mites in the flour.〔 Another form of this disease can be transmitted somehow to people who are exercising.〔〔 ==Further reading== * * * * * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pancake syndrome」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
