Coli...


Romaine lettuce is displayed at a grocery store in San Anselmo, California.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said the harvest season for romaine lettuce, linked to the multi-state E. coli outbreak, was over.
The reported strain of E. coli, which produces poisonous substances known as Shiga toxins, can cause severe abdominal cramps, bloody diarrhea and vomiting.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on May 2 one person from California had died related to the E. coli outbreak.
The last shipments of romaine lettuce from Yuma, Arizona were harvested on April 16, according to the FDA.
Twenty-three more people fell ill since the last update on May 9, bringing the total to 172 people from 32 states, the CDC said.
Didn't know nothing about it.
