I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen them add that if Romaine Lettuce has been in your refrigerator, then not only should you throw away the lettuce but you need to also clean and disinfect the refrigerator and anything that was stored in it.

Yes....it’s a really bad strain.

Wow, you are right, except the CDC is saying to only clean drawers and shelves where the romaine was stored...

Wash and sanitize drawers or shelves in refrigerators where romaine was stored. Follow these five steps to clean your refrigerator.

This is particularly interesting (also from CDC)...

Advice to Clinicians

Antibiotics are not recommended for patients with E. coli O157 infections. Antibiotics are also not recommended for patients in whom E.coli O157 infection is suspected, until diagnostic testing rules out this infection.

Some studies have shown that administering antibiotics to patients with E. coli O157 infections might increase their risk of developing hemolytic uremic syndrome (a type of kidney failure), and the benefit of antibiotic treatment has not been clearly demonstrated.

So I guess you just wait it out and hope your kidneys are not attacked. Yikes.
