Fried chili at the 2010 NC State Fair |
State Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler said Wednesday that he is “perplexed” by a growing E. coli outbreak linked to the North Carolina State Fair.
At least 30 people were sickened after attending the fair, which officials have called the "probable" source of the outbreak, but health officials haven’t been able to pinpoint a common activity among them.Had a good time last year at the Fair, but I like to experiment and try the fried whatever-probably-didn't-need-to-be-deep-fried foods.
