Deadly Listeria Outbreak Linked To Deli Meats
==========
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a warning about a deadly Listeria outbreak across a dozen states, linked to the consumption of deli meats. Two individuals have died and at least 28 others have been hospitalized. New York and Maryland have reported the highest number of cases. The outbreak was first detected on July 5th and the infection count has been steadily rising. The source of contamination is still unknown and there have been no product recalls. Pregnant women, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems are particularly vulnerable to Listeria. Symptoms of listeriosis include fever, muscle aches, and gastrointestinal distress. In severe cases, the infection can spread to the nervous system. New Jersey and Illinois have reported fatalities, and individuals in other affected states continue to require medical care. The CDC advises consumers to avoid deli meats unless thoroughly heated. The investigation is ongoing and the CDC has not identified specific products or brands. Listeria is resistant to freezing and can enter food handling systems without raising immediate red flags. The CDC recommends reheating deli meats until steaming and avoiding cross-contamination. DNA fingerprinting techniques have helped trace the outbreak and understand its impact. The FDA and USDA may enforce more stringent measures in the processing and handling of deli meats. For updates and information, the CDC advises referring to state health departments or their dedicated website.
