Public Health Agency of Canada says salmonella outbreak in 6 provinces, 63 sick

The Public Health Agency of Canada said Friday there are laboratory-confirmed cases in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec."The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is conducting a food safety investigation," a government release says. "If contaminated food products are identified, they will take the necessary steps to protect the public, including recalling food products as required.

The agency said anyone can become sick with a salmonella but infants, children, seniors and those with weakened immune systems are at higher risk of serious illness. It is usually caused by eating contaminated foods that have not been cooked properly, but can also be spread from one person to another if people don't wash their hands after using the bathroom.

Joyce Kristjansson, the care home's executive director, said staff brought in special measures while the outbreak was investigated. Residents were not allowed to move off their own floors, all group activities were cancelled and extra emphasis was put on hand-washing for people entering and leaving the building.

Health officials lifted the measures on Tuesday and the cases were reported to a national intestinal monitoring program and the National Microbiology Lab in Winnipeg.

You wouldnt believe how many people dont wash their hands after going for a crap, ive seen many in the food supplychain as well doing this practice and when i called them a friggin pig wash your hands they shrugged it off so i shamed him in the wotkplace

Ottawa Public Health warns about highly infectious measles case in cityOttawa Public Health is urging people to take precautions following a confirmed case of measles in the city. Makes me happy I had an MMR antibody count done a while back last time there was a scare. Not that I will ever chance it, but at least I'm covered if there are more idiots out there. If a vaccine is available, and declined, all health care costs should be out-of-pocket. Anti-vaxxers have now become a financial liability to our already strained health care system.
