Update: E coli outbreak from spinach

Posted Oct 22 2008 9:30pm

Spinach_frogAs we have all heard in the news, some batches of fresh spinach have been contamininated with the bacteria, E coli 0157 H7, found in cow manure. This bacteria causes a form of food poisoning, resulting in bloody diarrhea. And, some really unlucky people can get a complication called Hemolytic Uremic Sydrome (HUS). HUS involves the kidneys and blood cells, and can be deadly. For more information, go to the Center for Disease Control.
