Fatal Fruit: ‘Wake-Up Call’ Infectious Outbreak Crosses Border, New Death Confirmed
On Black Friday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued an ominous warning that there was an outbreak of Salmonella infections — an outbreak that had swiftly doubled since the organization first noted the issue a week prior on Nov. 17.
The Friday update noted that since the Nov. 17 report, “an additional 56 people” were infected with the “outbreak strain” of Salmonella.
That brings the U.S. total count to 99 infections across 32 states.
Since the Nov. 17 update, another 28 people have also been hospitalized, bringing total hospitalizations to 45.
On top of all that, Minnesota has also reported two deaths linked to the Salmonella outbreak.
