Last count on this is over 2000 people throughout Europe have been affected with 18 deaths so far. They are saying this is a brand new strand they have NEVER seen before. Also so for it is immune to all forms of antibiotics tested on it. They thought the strain came from cucumbers from Spain but that has been disproven and they now have no idea where it came from. All fruits & veggies are to be throughly cleaned with sodium bicarbonate and if possible none should be eaten raw. They are also saying to be careful with meats of all kinds as well. Meats are also to be well cleaned and cooked thoroughly. It seems cheese & fish are safe but they are not 100% so they are saying to be careful and clean & cook everything well until they can find the source and get this under control.
