Health officials: Toddler died from tainted spinach
A 2-year-old boy who died from kidney failure last month had been infected with the same strain of E. coli bacteria that sickened at least 192 people and killed one woman in a nationwide outbreak, health officials said Thursday.
Kyle Allgood was the second confirmed death in the outbreak, which also killed an elderly Wisconsin woman.
Where's the article on the elderly woman? Oh wait, I forgot. Old people aren't as important as teh childrun.
The toddler became ill after having a fresh spinach smoothie, according to his mother, Robyn Allgood.
Well hell. I'd've gotten sick too.
Here ya go. Feel better now?
Why yes, somewhat. :) Thanks for the link.
I’m still a bit queasy about the spinach smoothie though…
That sounds disgusting to me to.
Oh, the irony–she was trying to feed her child ‘healthy food’.
I know! You just can’t win these days. ;)
As far as smoothies go – I usually have something like a strawberry/banana smoothie… cold sweet thick goodness, right? And then, I’m imagining…. spinach.
Shudder
And I like spinach! But that’s just… ugh. :)
