and Wyoming (2).
Additionally, one ill person was reported from Canada.
Among the persons with confirmed, reported dates available, illnesses began between September 14, 2008 and January 8, 2009. Patients range in age from <1 to 98 years; 48% are female. Among persons with available information, 22% reported being hospitalized. Infection may have contributed to seven deaths.
The outbreak can be visually described with a chart showing the number of persons who became ill each day. This chart is called an epidemic curve or EPI Curve The epi curve and information about interpreting it may be found here. It shows that most illnesses began after October 1, 2008. Illnesses that occurred after December 22, 2008 may not yet be reported due to the time it takes between when a person becomes ill and when the illness is reported. This takes an average of 2 to 3 weeks.
Thanks for the education.
Why? This is a list of brands NOT affected by FDA recall. These are the clean products, not the ones you have to worry about.
“I suppose anything can be tainted if you take a dump in it.”Good point.Poor personal hygene and/or sloppy(unsanitary)work practices.The problem is compounded when food is processed in mass and then shipped across the country.
I will continue to enjoy my snack cracker... Little Debbie Little Debbie! Come here girl L0L
Ya know? I try to buy locally, but we all eat mass produced food and it is a bit skeery not knowing your source
Either version is evidence of your somewhat, um... different taste.
Maybe we need to go Halal?
As long as it’s not cracked.
Yup.
It is dangerous: link
That comes with a lot of other "baggage". I'll stick to good sanitation principles.
Thanks for putting up the thread. I was working on my master's in pathogenic bacteriology in 1977. I really enjoy the field, but I would be living on about 30% of the salary I make today doing CS/EE oriented work. I still have to deal with bad bugs, but they aren't human pathogens anymore.
WAY TO GO OHIO!!!
First in the nation in welfare spending........
First in the nation in illnesses from the peanut butter......
We should be so proud.
