Michigan Alfalfa Sprouts Salmonella Outbreak
On October 9, 2009, the Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH) and Michigan Department of Agriculture (MDA) issued a public health alert regarding illness from Salmonella infections among people who have reported raw alfalfa sprouts consumption in Michigan.
Michigan has 12 confirmed Salmonella Typhimurium cases from seven jurisdictions in Michigan (Bay, Genesee, Kent, Macomb, Oakland, Washtenaw and Wayne Counties) involved in the current outbreak.
MDCH has not released information regarding where the sprouts were purchased.
The illness onset dates range from Aug. 17 to Sept. 18, 2009. There have been two known hospitalizations.
People, especially young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems, should avoid consumption of raw alfalfa sprouts until further notice.
Salmonellosis is a disease caused by an infection with bacteria called Salmonella. Most persons infected with Salmonella develop diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps 12 to 72 hours after infection. The illness usually lasts four to seven days, and most people recover without treatment. The elderly, infants, and those with weak immune systems are more likely to have a severe illness, including Reiter's Syndrome.
Anyone who has recently eaten raw alfalfa sprouts and is experiencing symptoms should contact their healthcare provider and their local health department. If you are diagnosed with Salmonella poisoning, contact our law firm for a free consultation.
