The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Monday it is investigating a multistate outbreak of campylobacter infections linked to contact with puppies sold through Petland, a national pet store chain. Campylobacteriosis, a common bacterial infection, can cause diarrhea, abdominal pain and fever, according to the CDC.
As of September 11, a total of 39 people have fallen ill in seven states, including 11 cases in Florida, five in Kansas, one in Missouri, 18 in Ohio, two in Pennsylvania, one in Tennessee and one in Wisconsin. There have been nine hospitalizations and no deaths reported. The first case within this outbreak occurred on September 15, 2016.
Symptoms, which typically begin within two to five days after contact with the bacteria, last around a week, though some people don't experience any signs of illness. While many cases go unreported, about 14 cases for every 100,000 people are diagnosed each year in the United States, according to the CDC. Overall, campylobacteriosis -- which occurs much more frequently in the summer months than in the winter -- is estimated to affect over 1.3 million persons every year.
Almost every patient recovers within five days without treatment, though drinking extra fluids is recommended. In rare cases, an infection can lead to complications, including paralysis and even death.
People with weakened immune systems, such as infants, the elderly and people with cancer or other severe illnesses, are most at risk for a serious infection.

[[Puppies from pet store chain sicken 39 people, CDC says]]
Fine, people got sick- no big whoop- but we all want to know is, how did they taste?
Folks shouldn't eat puppies, anyway.
I know our local news affiliates were just running it yesterday evening, so guess it just made public news or they held off reporting on it until now.
To satisfy Globalists promoting Islam, every network has quotas on stories to further the cause. Negative stories on dogs, scantily clad amoral women, alcohol consumption, pork or pigs, nasty jews, and such must be produced to satisfy the curtain of Islamovision.
Although that might the only thing that Hillary hasn't blamed yet for her loss. But she's not done yet I'm afraid.
“I know our local news affiliates were just running it yesterday evening, so guess it just made public news or they held off reporting on it until now.”
That’s like when they run a story about a food recall weeks after the fact.
Lot of good it does to tell us the fresh fish we bought a month ago was contaminated.
Soap and water. Wash your hands.. Campy is fecal to oral. Don’t eat Shiite, no matter what we say. It isntvpuppies, its nasty people.
