Letter from Rainer Mueller of Eric's ECHO
Rainer Mueller founded Eric's ECHO after his 13-year-old son died from E. coli poisoning after eating a contaminated hamburger in 1993. The organization is dedicated to helping victims of E. coli poisoning. We asked if he would provide us with some insight on the current E. coli outbreak that has sickened over 170 people and killed at least one person.
"As our family approaches the 13th anniversary of the death of my my 13 year old son Eric in 1993, I find that the wounds caused by his passing are now being re-opened by this latest E.coli outbreak. In 1993 it was ground beef that caused the terrible illnesses and death. At that time many people told me that they felt safe because they were vegetarians and only ate organic vegetables. Even then I warned them that this was a false sense of security." Read the full text of the letter from Rainer Mueller on the Pritzker | Ruohonen website.
