Distributists Causing Salmonella Outbreaks By Snuggling With Their Backyard Chickens!

Backyard chickens blamed for salmonella outbreaks. 

Do not snuggle with them, CDC says. America’s love affair with backyard chickens is a tad too intimate, and it’s making some of us sick. Just this year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says, eight separate salmonella outbreaks linked to contact with pet poultry have taken place in the United States, sickening more than 370 people in 47 states and hospitalizing 71. No one has died in 2017 – yet. In 2016, a record 895 people who consorted with fowl came down with the nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps and fever that characterize this infection, and three of them did not survive. Source
