The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a warning over recalled eggs sold in three states on Friday.
In a “Food Safety Alert,” the agency said 24 hospitalizations had occurred due to a “Salmonella Outbreak Linked to Eggs.” The agency told people
to “not eat any recalled eggs” and noted that “Milo’s Poultry Farms LLC recalled eggs” the same day that were bought by “stores and restaurants in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Illinois.”
Milo’s Poultry Farms said in a Friday announcement
on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website that it “is recalling all ‘Milo’s Poultry Farms’ and ‘Tony’s Fresh Market’ branded eggs because these eggs have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.”
“Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain,” the announcement continued. “In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.”
The CDC also recommended that people contact “your healthcare provider if you have any of these severe Salmonella symptoms,” listing symptoms like long-lasting diarrhea and intense vomiting.
The first person without known contact with an animal has been infected with the the H5N1 virus
, commonly known as bird or avian flu, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed Friday.
The case, detected in Missouri, was identified through the state’s seasonal flu surveillance system. The risk to the general public remains low, the CDC said.
Missouri’s Department of Health and Senior Services said
the patient was hospitalized in August, but the individual, with “no immediate known animal exposure,” had underlying medical conditions. The individual was treated with influenza antiviral medications, later discharged and has since recovered, per the department.
At least 13 other people in the U.S. have been infected with bird flu this year, but they all have been exposed to infected animals through work — including poultry and cows.
“While other novel flu cases have been detected through the country’s national flu surveillance system, this is the first time that system has detected a case of H5,” the CDC said.
The virus was first detected
in dairy cows in March, but no cows in Missouri have been infected.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) confirmed earlier this year that there were outbreaks in 51 cattle herds across the country in states including Michigan, New Mexico, North Carolina, Kansas, Colorado, Idaho, Ohio, South Dakota and Texas.
In June, the World Health Organization said
a man in Mexico had died of the bird flu, but it was not a strain of the virus detected before.
A former CDC director has predicted that
a bird flu pandemic will happen, it’s just a matter of when.
He noted that bird flu has a “significant mortality” rate compared to COVID-19.
The 30-second ad, titled “Told Us
,” includes Trump saying, “for 54 years they were trying to get Roe v. Wade terminated and I did it and I’m proud to have done it.” The comments come from a townhall the former president participated in with Fox News in January.
The ad warned that Trump would want to go further and pass a national abortion ban. The GOP nominee has said he wouldn’t sign
a national abortion ban, but has declined to say
whether he would veto such a ban if it made it to his desk
Another 30-second ad, called “Big Family
,” is narrated by Alabama resident Latorya Beasley, who discussed how her embryo transfer was canceled after the Alabama Supreme Court ruled in February
that frozen embryos
are children, threatening the use of in vitro fertilization
(IVF).
The last ad, a one-minute spot titled “Laurel
,” is narrated by Wisconsin resident Laurel Marcinkus, who discussed how she couldn’t get treatment quickly after her labor had to be induced because of a blood clot in her uterus. Doctors at the time, she said, were afraid of prosecution for treating her.
“I almost died. That’s because of the decision that Donald Trump made,” Marcinkus said in the ad. The footage also includes a quote from the former president, saying that “there has to be some form of punishment for woman” who get abortions. The clip comes from an interview on MSNBC in 2016.
“Told Us” will run in battleground states and during high-viewership moments, including the return of popular primetime programming, the campaign said. The ads “Laurel” and “Big Family” will run as digital spots on platforms Hulu, Roku, YouTube, Paramount, Spotify and Pandora.
“Donald Trump is a fundamental threat to reproductive freedom — and you don’t have to take our word for it — Trump said it himself,” Harris spokesperson Lauren Hitt said in a statement. “In fact, he’s said again and again that he’s ‘proud’ that he overturned Roe — a ruling which has harmed countless women, including Latorya and Laurel.”
The ads are part of the campaign’s $370 million investment
in television and digital between Labor Day and Election Day.
The Harris campaign also launched a reproductive rights bus tour
this week that Minnesota’s first lady Gwen Walz and second gentleman Doug Emhoff will join Tuesday. The two spouses will travel to Asheville and Raleigh, N.C., to highlight restrictive abortion laws passed in red states since Roe v. Wade was overturned
in 2022.
