Salmonella Lawyer Update: CDC Updates on Salmonella Outbreak Linked to Over 400 Illnesses.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued an update on the mysterious multistate Salmonella Oranienburg outbreak on September 30
th
, 2021. In the recent update the CDC informed that although they have yet to discover the source of the illnesses, the numbers of cases have continued to increase at an exponential rate. Since the last update by the CDC on September 24
th
, 2021, the number of cases believed to be linked to the outbreak has increased by a hundred and forty, bringing the total number of people ill from the outbreak to 419. The number of hospitalizations has also increased by forty cases, nearly double the amount since the last update.
In their previous update of the mysterious salmonella outbreak the CDC stated that their investigation has not yet identified a food linked to the illnesses. After interviewing multiple people affected by the outbreak health officials were able to discover the outbreak strain of Salmonella Oranienburg in a sample taken from a takeout condiment cup containing cilantro and lime. Some of the people interviewed stated that the condiment container also contained onions, but none were left in the cup when it was tested. Sadly, since multiple food items were present in the container and in the sample that was tested, it’s not possible to know which food item was contaminated.
In the most recent update of the investigation the number of states affected by the outbreak has also grown to thirty-five. At this time the state that has been hit the hardest by the outbreak is Texas with over a hundred cases being reported by health department officials. Health officials have begun to urge medical providers to report Salmonella cases and to test people exhibiting symptoms of salmonella since they may be part of the outbreak.
People affected by salmonella bacterium normally begin exhibiting symptoms within six hours to six days after ingesting the contaminated products. Symptoms of salmonella usually include abdominal pain, diarrhea which can at time be bloody, nausea, fever, and vomiting. People affected by salmonella symptoms are being urged to contact a medical health care provider as soon as possible.
Ron Simon, a National Salmonella Lawyer, stated:
“A series of events occurs between the time a patient is infected and the time public health officials can determine that the patient is part of an outbreak. This means that there will be a delay between the start of illness and confirmation that a patient is part of an outbreak.”
