Recent outbreaks of an unpleasant intestinal illness in Massachusetts, California and Pennsylvania are due to a drug-resistant version of a bacteria that causes travelers' diarrhea, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned this week.
Since May 2014, Shigella sonnei bacteria that have shown resistance to the antibiotic ciprofloxacin have sickened 243 people across 32 states and Puerto Rico, the federal agency said. "Research by the CDC found that the drug-resistant illness was being repeatedly introduced as ill travelers returned and was then infecting other people in a series of outbreaks around the country," the CDC explained.
Shigellosis is often associated with illnesses contracted while abroad. Although the bacteria isn't the only culprit responsible for travel-related stomach problems, its symptoms fall under the umbrella of illnesses known colloquially by several names, including "Montezuma's revenge," "Delhi belly" and "wilderness diarrhea."

Let me guess. About half the Nursing Aides are illegals from “wherever” in Central America. They barely speak english, and presumed everybody had an occasional bout of stomach flu
three or four days out of the week as they always have.
Thanks Obola!
More disease attributable to Obama’s ILLEGAL immigration policies.
Mrs NHD was out shopping at the local supermarket. There was what appeared to be a central American family being guided around by a white woman. The group didn’t speak English and they smelled really bad.
I don’t like stereotyping people, but these days in ObamaWorld, it makes sense to do so. We all know he sees the world through Race-Coloured Glasses.
Their very first stop (BEFORE traipsing around in public) should be the Family-Sized Delousing Showers with government supplied Ivory soap. It Floats!! What ever clothing, underwear or luggage you brought with you, throw it in the incinerator NOW! Burn it. Bras and panties too, Sorry Ma’am, Lo Siento. We have some nice clean t-shirts in your size, and they have Obama’s picture on both front and back. Ain’t that nice of us gringos?
Wow, did anyone read the comments after the story? What a bunch of nuts! One person seemed to be blaming climate change, another blamed greedy big pharma for not developing more drugs, and somebody posted a chart showing the high levels of salt in processed foods. At least one person mentioned the high rate of disease transmission among homosexuals. No doubt this is a major reason for the development of the antibiotic resistant form of this disease.
*sigh* These people probably vote and procreate.
They forgot chemtrails?
And they don’t wash hands after the toilet.
BINGO
Obama’s Illegals strike again
Stock up on probiotics.
The Iran deal & open borders; 0bama is inviting two of the horsemen of the apocalypse -war and pestilence to ravage this country.
obama, the gift that keeps on giving.
I’ve had the pleasure of visiting a men’s room at the Giant grocery store in Kennett Sq, PA.... The illegal Mexicans are absolutely filthy people.
A few years ago as I was leaving my eye glass dispensary a burly Mexican guy came through the doorway herding four older girls through the doorway. I must have looked at the group quizzically because the shepherd gave me a look that said ‘so what are looking at and what can you do about it’. I take his look to tell me/us that they i.e. illegals can get anything any time they want.
You ain’t kidding. A few times I’ve been in the restroom stall and heard someone exit the stall and then exit the restroom with no running water inbetween.
I’m just now getting over a stomach virus much like the one described here. Cipro didn’t do the trick and I ended up in the hospital for 3 days. ICU for the first 36 hours.
Blood pressure was 66/40 and I was in acute renal failure. Massive quantities of fluids kick started my kidneys, but after another week, I’m still completely exhausted.
My brother has the same thing, but was given a Z pack that kept him going somewhat.
One thing we had in common prior to going down...we both had the chimichanga lunch special at a mexican restaurant just a couple days before.
America and Americans are being attacked from outside and from within, from all ends while they watch the bachelor, the voice, and dancing with the stars.
Please remember that even when antibiotics don’t work, sometimes probiotics can help. Try sips of liquid from naturally fermented sauer kraut because when ill, not much will stay down enough to get the good bacteria into the lower intestine.
If others are sick around you, eat naturally fermented foods, and take soil based bacteria capsules, as a preventative. Yogurt too but it’s hard to get those into the right place.
