Multiple serotypes indicates multiple sources. Were they fertilizing the papayas with faeces? However, 62 cases are nothing. Several years ago an illegal Mexican worker at a Mexican restaurant in Corinth, Mississippi, contaminated the queso cheese dip and there were over 200 cases of one serotype of Salmonella food borne illness. One case was serious enough that the man was debilitated for life. The local hospital was inundated with the sick. Ironically the restaurant, Don Julio's, is still in business.
