DAYTON, Ohio (AP) - Health officials say they
can't identify the source of an E. coli outbreak that left one man dead
and sickened 79 after a picnic last month in southwest Ohio.
The outbreak began with
people who ate at a July 3 customer appreciation picnic for a lawn care
business in Germantown, about 15 miles southwest of Dayton.
The Dayton Daily News reports Montgomery County health officials say several factors
hampered their investigation. The first illnesses from the bacteria
weren't reported until days after the picnic when there was no leftover
food to test. Officials say there was no way to determine conditions and
temperatures of food preparation and handling coming from multiple
sources.
Investigators say they interviewed 117 people but could not conclusively link any food item to the outbreak.
