4 North Carolina Students Have E. coli Infections
Yesterday, we reported that 3 University of North Carolina students had E. coli infections. There are now 6 University of North Carolina students with confirmed E. coli infections. 4 more people are being tested a part of the E. coli outbreak investigation, 3 of whom are students at the University of North Carolina.
As with all foodborne outbreak investigations, the students infected are being interviewed with hopes that a common food or eating experience will lead investigators to the source of the outbreak. Investigators are also looking at water as a possible source.
E. coli is spread by a fecal-oral route, meaning contaminated feces get into a persons mouth. Students living in dorms should be particularly careful to wash their hands.
