Deadly Outbreak Of E-Coli In UK
A deadly outbreak of E-Coli at a farm in the UK has caused twin boys to become infected and receive kidney dialysis. Worse, is the alarm that a number of people could also be infected.
The Independent UK has reported that:
Thirty-six cases of the E.Coli O157 bacterial infection have been confirmed linked with the farm, of which 12 are in children, all under 10. The O157 strain, although rare, is one of the nastiest, particularly in young children, causing diarrhoea, vomiting, and in extreme cases kidney failure and death. The outbreak is believed to have started on August 8 and around 2,000 people a day visit the farm, implying tens of thousands may have been put at risk.
The Health Protection Agency became aware of the problem as early as August 27, 2009 but the decision to officially close the farm happened on September 11, 2009. This has left victims and their families very angry.
