Two E. Coli cases in Snohomish County; one child hospitalized
EVERETT — Two E. Coli cases have been identified in Snohomish County, including one in a child under 10 who’s been hospitalized, the Snohomish Health District announced Tuesday.
The other infection involves a woman in her 20s.
Public health authorities have linked the two cases to a cluster of E. Coli reports in King County, and they may stem from fresh produce.
“While we continue working with our partners on this investigation, it’s an important reminder to always wash produce items well before eating them, to avoid unpasteurized dairy products, and to fully cook beef and other animal meats to the proper temperature,” county health officer Dr. Chris Spitters said in a news release.
