Salmonella Outbreak Linked to Cucumbers
Information about multistate <em>Salmonella</em> outbreaks linked cucumbers.
Salmonella wants in on these food recalls.
CDC declared a Salmonella outbreak linked to SunFed Produce cucumbers. As of today (11/30), there have been 68 reported cases across the US (sorry Montana).

Outbreaks of E. coli Infections
This page represents multistate foodborne outbreak investigations involving <em>E. coli</em> since 2006.
Recently, the CDC has reported a couple of E. coli outbreaks (different strains) traced back to onions & carrots.
They have a whole page dedicated to E. coli outbreaks.

I’m highlighting CDC’s “Germs Develop Antibiotic Resistance” timeline. Long story short, organisms develop resistance quickly.
For example, in the 1940s, S. aureus developed resistance to penicillin in 1 year.

It's US #AntibioticAwarenessWeek! Antibiotics are precious tools for fighting infections, but they should only be used when needed and for the shortest effective duration. #USAAW24

Childhood vaccines are humanity’s greatest achievement. Not electric cars. Not satellite internet reaching the world. Not even rockets to Mars.
Undermining public trust in these vaccines is unconscionable.
