Europe Spreading Outbreak Coli E
Apparently, the cucumbers are to blame for this particular outbreak.
QUOTE BERLIN -- Cucumbers were back on the radar of German health authorities as the possible cause of an E. Coli outbreak in Europe that has killed at least 26 people and sickened over 2,700 others.
Two weeks ago, investigators blamed cucumbers from Spain for the deadly outbreak and then later ruled them out as the source. Then, the focus shifted to sprouts from northern Germany, but none that were tested turned out to be contaminated with the bacteria strain blamed for the outbreak.
Now, suspicions have fallen on a cucumber of an unknown country origin that sickened a family in eastern Germany. The cucumber -- the first food found to be contaminated with the strain that has sickened thousands -- was in the family's compost, but there is no conclusive evidence that it's the source. Source 4
