FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda THURSDAY, May 31 (HealthDay News) — Live chicks and ducklings
from a mail-order hatchery in Ohio have been linked to a salmonella
outbreak that had sickened 93 people in 23 states, the U.S. Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention said in an update Thursday.
Eighteen people have been hospitalized and one death possibly related
to the outbreak is under investigation. Among the reported cases so far,
illnesses surfaced between March 1 and May 19. Infected people range in
age from less than 1 year old to 100 years old, and 37 percent of those
sickened are 10 or younger, the CDC said.
The reported cases are: Alabama (3), Georgia (3), Illinois (1), Indiana
(2), Kentucky (4), Louisiana (1), Massachusetts (1), Maryland (1), Maine
(2), Michigan (1), Nebraska (1), New Jersey (1), North Carolina (9), New
York (13), Ohio (26), Pennsylvania (9), Rhode Island (1), South Carolina
(1), Tennessee (4), Texas (1), Virginia (6), Vermont (1), and West
Virginia (1).
The same mail-order hatchery linked to this outbreak was associated
with a salmonella outbreak in 2011, said the CDC, which did not identify
the hatchery. Ohio Department of Agriculture veterinarians inspected the
hatchery this month and made recommendations for improvement.
To reduce the risk of salmonella infection, you should always wash your
hands thoroughly with soap and water immediately after touching live
poultry or anything in the area where they live and roam, the CDC
advised.
The agency also said that mail-order hatcheries, agricultural feed
stores, and other businesses that sell or display live poultry should
provide health-related information to potential buyers of the birds. This
information should include details about the risk of acquiring a
salmonella infection from live poultry.

baby poultry.
