Romaine lettuce を含むSpring Mix がストアーから消えた。
Whole Foods に入って、サラダを買おうとしたら、
何か異変が起きている。
何かわからないが、シェルフが全て緑で彩られている。
よく見ると、ほうれん草以外の野菜が見当たらない。。 arugla と Spinich だけ。
ここまで、注意勧告をCDC が出すぐらい東海岸にはO157 が原因不明のまま居座っているようだ。
どこのストアに行っても、
ロメインレタス、スプリングミックス、などのサラダが店頭から消えている。
いつになれば、サラダをたらふく食べれるのだろうか。
この１週間余りで、これらだけを野菜としてとっていた人たちは、
野菜なしで便通に異変を起こした人たちも少なからずいるだろう。

CDC, public health and regulatory officials in several states, Canada, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are investigating a multistate outbreak of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E. coli O157:H7) infections linked to romaine lettuce.
CDC is advising that U.S. consumers not eat any romaine lettuce, and retailers and restaurants not serve or sell any, until we learn more about the outbreak. This investigation is ongoing and the advice will be updated as more information is available.
* Consumers who have any type of romaine lettuce in their home should not eat it and should throw it away, even if some of it was eaten and no one has gotten sick.
* This advice includes all types or uses of romaine lettuce, such as whole heads of romaine, hearts of romaine, and bags and boxes of precut lettuce and salad mixes that contain romaine, including baby romaine, spring mix, and Caesar salad.
* If you do not know if the lettuce is romaine or whether a salad mix contains romaine, do not eat it and throw it away.
* Wash and sanitize drawers or shelves in refrigerators where romaine was stored. Follow these five steps to clean your refrigerator.
* Restaurants and retailers should not serve or sell any romaine lettuce, including salads and salad mixes containing romaine.
* Take action if you have symptoms of an E. coli infection:
* Talk to your healthcare provider.
* Write down what you ate in the week before you started to get sick.
* Report your illness to the health department.
* Assist public health investigators by answering questions about your illness.
Advice to Clinicians
* Antibiotics are not recommended for patients with E. coli O157 infections. Antibiotics are also not recommended for patients in whom E.coli O157 infection is suspected, until diagnostic testing rules out this infection.
* Some studies have shown that administering antibiotics to patients with E. coli O157 infections might increase their risk of developing hemolytic uremic syndrome (a type of kidney failure), and the benefit of antibiotic treatment has not been clearly demonstrated.
