If you turn to pre-packaged salads for a healthy meal on the go, you may want to find another quick and healthy meal. As well, if you make the salads yourself, you may want to eschew romaine lettuce. (Again.)

Nearly 100,000 POUNDS of salads have been recalled due to an E.coli outbreak spanning 22 states. (FIFTY TONS!) Considering the weight of lettuce, that’s a heck of a lot of salad. This is a Class 1 recall with a “high risk” of adverse health effects.

E. coli can be deadly.

So far, the CDC says that17 people have been infected with the outbreak strain of E. coli O157: H7 in 8 states. Seven of those people have been hospitalized, and thankfully, no deaths have been reported.

Sandra Lane wrote about E. coli in a recent article.

It is important to know how to recognize the symptoms of E. coli infection.

The symptoms of most any E. coli infection are similar to each other and can start as late as two weeks after exposure, and can last two weeks more. Most recover within 10 days. Those symptoms include:

Diarrhea, sometimes bloody

Abdominal cramping

Nausea

Vomiting

Mild to moderate dehydration

Usually no or little initial fever

E. coli 0157: H7, however, includes bloody diarrhea 90% of the time along with more severe dehydration, which can then further increase in severity of symptoms with tachycardia, slow capillary refill, and delirium – particularly in children. (source)

Children, the elderly, and those with compromised immune systems are more vulnerable to this illness.
