Salmonella outbreak
The latest outbreak of salmonella has seen 79 people fall ill across seven states, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and at least 21 people have been hospitalized with no deaths having been reported.
“This outbreak may not be limited to the states with known illnesses, and the true number of sick people is likely much higher than the number reported,” the CDC said. “This is because many people recover without medical care and are not tested for Salmonella.”
Salmonella is a type of bacteria that can make people sick if they consume contaminated food and water, or touch animals, their fecal matter or the areas they live in, according to the CDC. It is “a leading cause of food-borne illness, hospitalizations, and deaths in the United States and worldwide”.
