SOUTH DAKOTA: State sees increase in salmonella cases - (Sioux City Journal)
December 22, 2007 – 7:43 pmThe state Health Department is reminding South Dakotans about food safety precautions following a spike in salmonella cases this year.
Salmonella is spread by eating or drinking food or water that’s contaminated through contact with infected people or animals. It usually results in diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps lasting four to seven days.
Precautions include washing hands and all utensils after handling raw poultry or meat; keeping raw meat from contacting other foods that won’t be cooked, and proper cooking and refrigeration of meats.
The state reports 160 salmonella cases this year, well over the five-year median of 120 cases per year.
