Medicine Notices; Peanut Butter Cracker Recalls and Sepsis Strikes Again

Lately, there has been a recall in peanut butter products by the Lynchburg-based Peanut Corp. because Kellogg Co. fears that the crackers might contain salmonella. The suspected companies are Austin, Little Debbie and Keebler. Although this is the most common cause the nationwide salmonella outbreak, Kellogg says that there are other sources too. So far, the salmonella has sickened 430 people in 43 states. On Tuesday, one person died in Minnesota and two in Virginia. Also stay aware of the peanut butter under the names Parnell's Pride and King Nut Co (but don't worry too much; the peanut butter is not sold in retail stores.)

As you might have heard, the Brazilian model da Costa has just recently died from sepsis. Sepsis is a very fatal disease which starts with a urinary tract and spreads. The result for da Costa was the amputation of her arms and legs. Also killed from this disease is the creator of the Muppets and a lady called Mrs. Flatley who caught the disease in the hospital while being treated for something else. The usual syptoms are high fever and large drops of raises in your blood pressure. Many doctors nationwide say that to prevent this disease is to use the bathroom regularly.

This has been your Medical Notice. We hope you have enjoyed it.
Thank You,
