Thread: Typhoid outbreak in Nevada , Breaking

A typhoid outbreak is feared after cases of typhoid from earlier this month in Nevada may have spread. A frozen fruit product is suspected in an outbreak of typhoid fever in Clark County, Nev., that left four people ill, health officials said.

The Southern Nevada Health District said Friday the cases of salmonella typhi, the bacterium that causes typhoid fever, are part of a two-state outbreak believed to be a result of consuming a frozen fruit product called mamey fruit pulp, the Las Vegas Sun reported.

All four patients were under the age of 30 and have recovered, the district said.

Local authorities are working with the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to investigate the outbreak, which has also sickened five people in California, the district said.

Mamey fruit pulp, also known as zapote or sapote, comes from a fruit grown in Central and South American countries and is often used in shakes and smoothies.

It is especially popular in Hispanic communities.

The health district and the CDC are recommending that people avoid food items made with the Goya brand of frozen mamey fruit pulp, which has been voluntarily recalled, the Sun reported.

Some form of epidemic Is Inevitable when you have tens of thousands of people from third world countries Invading the United States with a majority of them In poor health to begin with. What ever diseases that they have they bring It with them,and we have no way to check these people out with our borders WIDE OPEN to anyone and everyone. It Is just a matter of time...

Goya, hmmmm. Our local illegals complaing that our food pantries don't give out free Goya products. See there. We're keeping them from getting sick.

Sickening, but not shocking. Remember the big tomato recall a few years back? It ended up being chilis instead. This is what happens when you water your crops with SEWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You would be amazed at the amount of food products brought in here from Mexico

Have you noticed that almost all the candy now comes from Mexico? Now we have ice cream with eggs from Iowa.... Maybe I can get a bit thinner...

Not to mention the food and food products that are imported from South America, China, etc. Apple orchardists, specifically, in this country have been hit hard by U.S. government crop inspection requirements.....and who, I wonder, monitors the safety of apples arriving from China.....hopefully not the same folks who check the lead paint content being used on childrens toys arriving from that country!
