    Confirmed cases of Salmonella in BC

    Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 16 Nov, 2023 11:14 AM
    • Confirmed cases of Salmonella in BC

    The B-C Centre for Disease Dontrol says there have been eight confirmed cases of a rare strain of salmonella since mid-November.

    The centre says the outbreak has been linked to imported cantaloupes sold under the label “Malichita” and those sold from October 11th to November 14th should be disposed of.

    Cases include people ranging in age from less than a year to 68 years old, living in the Vancouver Coastal Health, Fraser Health and Island Health regions.

    Symptoms of the illness include diarrhea, abdominal pain and sometimes fever, nausea and vomiting.
