Health officials in Indiana
and Kentucky say they are investigating farms, distributors and
retailers after an outbreak of salmonella that has killed two and
sickened at least 141 people nationwide was linked to cantaloupe grown
in southwestern Indiana.
Officials Friday advised all Indiana residents to discard cantaloupes purchased since July 7.
The Kentucky Department of
Public Health warned people not to eat the cantaloupes. Tests found the
fruit carried the same strain of salmonella that has killed two and
sickened more than 50 in Kentucky.
Salmonella infections
result in diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps. Most people recover
without treatment, but severe infections can occur in infants, the
elderly and those with weakened immune systems. The U.S. Food and Drug
Administration says 31 have been hospitalized in this outbreak that has
hit 20 states.
