[quote:^ZytO^:MV8xODg1NDEyX0NFMzRFQUQ5] You've probably heard a lot about salmonella in reference to food poisoning, but the latest outbreak isn't about eating cooked animals - it's about touching live ones. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that 93 people in a total of 23 states have been infected with strains of salmonella: specifically, strains known as Salmonella Infantis, Salmonella Newport, and Salmonella Lille. Of those affected, 18 patients have been hospitalized and one death may be related to the outbreak under investigation too. A large portion - 37% - of the those infected are 10 years old or younger, according to the CDC. http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2012/05/31/cdc-salmonella-outbreak-tied-to-live-poultry/ [/quote]
