As if we didn't have enough to deal with on the health crisis front with the coronavirus pandemic, the CDC is now warning people that a salmonella outbreak has spread to half of the country. Moreover, officials haven't made a determination yet about what caused it.
The health agency issued a notice on Friday that provided an update on the investigation. This bacteria outbreak started a few weeks ago, and exploded from only a few infections to now 127 at last count -- and with 18 requiring hospitalization, across 25 states. "A specific food item has not yet been identified as the source of this fast-growing outbreak," reads a note pinned to the top of the CDC notice. "If you have symptoms of a Salmonella infection, talk to your healthcare provider and report your illness to your health department to help investigators solve this outbreak."
