      The latest edition of Gastro Obscura has an article on salt rising bread entitled "Gangrene Bread". (Clostridium perfringens, the bacteria that salt rising bread uses for leavening, is the most common bacteria in food poisoning cases, usually causing just stomach issues but it is often found in cases of gangrene.)

        Interesting article, Mike. I always assumed that the pioneers used sourdough starters.
