At least 279 infections have been linked to the strain observed in the outbreak — including 26 people who were hospitalized, according to the latest CDC case count released on Friday.
Last week, the CDC had only confirmed 127 infections linked to the unidentified food source, including 18 hospitalizations, in 25 states. Since then, the outbreak has expanded to a total of 29 states.
An outbreak of the strain Salmonella Oranienburg began Aug. 3 and grew “rapidly” in the following weeks, according to the CDC. No deaths have been linked to the outbreak.
Officials believe the number of sick people is likely much higher since some people recover from illness without medical care and aren’t tested for salmonella.
It can also take up to four weeks to determine if a sick person is indeed part of the outbreak, the agency says.
Still, investigators aren’t sure what’s causing the outbreak.
“The outbreak strain of Salmonella Oranienburg was found in a sample taken from a takeout condiment cup containing cilantro and lime. The sick person reported that the condiment container also contained onions, but none were left in the cup when it was tested.”
cilantro? Not only vile it can kill you too.
Gas station sushi?
Where?
I thought people only got sick from Covid 1984.
Americans mask:
given their fraud, their duplicity, their lies,
their forcing UNTESTING “medicines” on pregnant women,
did the CDC plant this, like the corrupt-fireman’s arson?

(NEXSTAR) — The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recorded a “significant” number of new infections amid a multi-state outbreak of salmonella stemming from an unknown food source.
At least 279 infections have been linked to the strain observed in the outbreak, 26 of which have required hospitalization, according to the latest CDC case count made public on Friday. Last week, the CDC had only confirmed 127 infections linked to the unidentified food source, including 18 hospitalizations.
The outbreak has also expanded to a total of 29 states, or four more than when the CDC first reported the infections last week.

No deaths have been linked to the outbreak.
Salmonella Oranienburg, the strain observed in this outbreak, began sickening people on Aug. 3 and grew “rapidly” in the following weeks, according to the CDC. The agency estimates that the actual number of sick people is “likely much higher” than 279, as many infected individuals often recover without seeking treatment or getting tested.
It can also take up to four weeks to determine if a sick person is indeed part of the outbreak, the agency says.

Investigators have yet to determine a food source linked to the outbreak, though the strain has since been identified in a takeout container provided to a restaurant customer, per the CDC’s lab data.
“State and local officials have collected food items from some of the restaurants where sick people ate,” the CDC wrote in Friday’s update. “The outbreak strain of Salmonella Oranienburg was found in a sample taken from a takeout condiment cup containing cilantro and lime. The sick person reported that the condiment container also contained onions, but none were left in the cup when it was tested.”
The CDC says, however, that it is “not possible” to determine exactly which ingredient or component was contaminated, as the takeout container contained other foods.
Health officials are currently gathering additional data, per the CDC.
In a statement shared with Nexstar days before the CDC’s latest update, the agency said it was continuing to see “a significant number of new cases reported each day.”
The statement, issued by Belsie González, MPH, the senior public affairs specialist for the CDC, added that “it remains important that people report symptoms to their healthcare provider and local health department.”
Symptoms of salmonella include diarrhea, fever, stomach cramps, and possible nausea, vomiting or headache. Those experiencing more severe symptoms — including dehydration, prolonged vomiting, prolonged diarrhea, or diarrhea with a fever of over 102 degrees F, among other symptoms — should contact a doctor immediately.

Chipotle?
I went to Chipotle once.
Once.
Do we know what parts of each state?
Taco Johns was always good for cleanout.
Chipotle had such a run of contamination awhile back . . . it was almost as though they were being sabotaged.
Has to be Mexican or Southwestern with cilantro and lime in it.
Taco Smell? I mean Bell.
Onions soak up bacteria. Worse than mayo in picnic fare. Look it up.
Many people think mayo is a culprit but it’s not. That’s been documented for decades. Mayonnaise is acidic and is not the source of the problem.
Cilantro, onions and lime...that’s taqueria condiments. May be Dallas-Fort Worth area and then folks traveled. I don’t know, just an idea.
Holy merde. Check out the map...

Illegals and/or so-called refugees...?
I’ve noticed that grocery stores have recently been selling items that are close to sell-by or expiration dates.
Strange for it to be in all those states. It can’t be one Chipotle. Has to be from their factory if it is them. Someone out to get them for some reason?
Not from this article. It didn’t even list the states.
If you live in one of the states, we listed, watch local tv for your area.
