Dozens have fallen ill during a five-state E. Coli outbreak, and nobody knows where it’s coming from

By Michael Brice-Saddler Michael Brice-Saddler General Assignment Reporter Email Bio Follow April 5 at 9:54 PM The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday it has yet to determine the source of an E. coli outbreak that has infected 72 people in five states — an admission one expert in food-borne illness called “perplexing,” considering how many have become sick.

Bill Marler, a food safety lawyer from Seattle with more than 25 years of experience, told The Washington Post there’s “no question” the patients in this case share one common source of infection. It’s “concerning,” he said, that the CDC has yet to pinpoint the source to a specific food item, grocery store or restaurant chain.

Condiments, garnish, toppings, and spices can all contain traces of E. coli. But it’s unlikely the patients in this outbreak were keeping track of all the additives in their recent diets, he added. Thirty-six of the reported illnesses in this case stem from Kentucky. Last week, local health officials issued an alert for a “sudden increase in O103 cases” in the state, according to the Mercer County Health Department, which wrote in a Facebook post the illnesses were found in “children and teenagers with extensive exposure to fast food.”

Here’s how messed up our immigration system is 1. Illegal immigrant commits murder 2. Spends 17 years in a US prison 3. Gets deported 4. Immediately re-enters the US 5. Gets arrested again 6. In US custody at a cost to taxpayers BuildTheWall

Hey maybe don’t put the life threatening information behind a paywall.

Keene, NH had a case recently, why no CDC reporting?

Where? Poop. Almost certainly poop.

Lots of bots trolls fake accounts on this thread.

'...when there’s 72 people and they’re being interviewed by epidemiologists, it’s pretty unusual you don’t have a culprit.” Don't you think it could have something 2do with the roll back in Agricultural Water Testing regulations? Don't you think you could investigate/report this?

For a population as educated as ours, common sense is lacking at times.

Fancy coffee shops where they don't have automatic ice machines, they have a high incidence of bacteria from workers hands being in the ice.

Wash your hands, sterilize your cooking tools. Stop depending on anyone but yourselves.

Eat at home and cook your food throughly.

Check the White house that will make anyone sick!

mags

Mexico?

Artificial sweeteners kill intestinal flora.

You can expect lots more problems like this when you slash regulations.

Which regulations had Trump cut now?

Oh gee, let’s see. Could it be from the illegals invading the country?

'Dozens have fallen ill during a five-state E. Coli outbreak, and nobody knows where it’s coming from' Certainly, not from the grammar department.

Probably from all the B.S. the liberals are spreading!!!

We know where this rash of disease is coming from. Them wonderful refugees illegally crossing the border.

It comes from filthy toilet habits not washing your hands after taking a crap. It’s not rocket science people. So many 3rd world people roving around our cities and airports. They have filthy habits. Figure it out. Close the gate.They smell duh!

What up at the boarder bitches ... Prez trump going to fix this broken system and critical infrastructure going up ... Happy day

Devin Nunes doesnt wash his hands

Which Trump-appointed genius heads food inspections these days?

Cech the CDC

FDA: Dozens of seizures reported after vaping, mostly by young peopleSeizures or convulsions are known to be possible side effects of nicotine poisoning. Users often swallowed vaping liquid containing nicotine. 35 out of how many? More third-rate nonsense from USAT. Considering how many times people have vaped over the last ten years if only 35 of them had an adverse reaction that’s actually very good statistics. An extremely small percentage. I’m confused, did you write this article in favor of or against vaping?
