Shigella

Woo-Hoo! Second post within two days, but something that has happened in my office (well with the child to one of my employees) begged to be blogged.

Shigella -- Shigellos: Food Poisoning described on WebMD

This is a bacteria that causes a sever case of food poisoning that can then be passed around between children, and some adults are susceptible. A local daycare/school has had an outbreak of this and it is quickly spreading throughout the children in PB. Basically some little kid got food poisoning, picked up the bacteria, and then brought it to school with her...now our office is waiting to see if we catch it (because we were all around the little boy that caught it from the girl at his school).

This year has been crazy with off the wall illnesses that I am being introduced to or coming into contact with. Crazy how the shigella happens and can be spread...check out the web site (webmd) to learn more and make sure that you keep your kids healthy.
