In a scary new food safety crisis in the U.S.' northern neighbor, there have been 34 confirmed causes of a salmonella outbreak 2015 in Canada, but the truly strange part isn't so much the infections in itself but rather that, so far, the causes of this new health issue are unknown.
For now, eight of Canada's provinces have been affected with the salmonella outbreak 2015, with Ontario being the one with the most cases with a total of 16, as health authorities in the country work to find out what has been causing this new health scare.
According to CBC, the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) is currently investigating this salmonella outbreak 2015, which has led to eight provinces being affected and several hospitalizations throughout the country; however, it's been said that so far this isn't really thought to be a major crisis for Canadians, as it's said that most citizens aren't in danger from the outbreak.
As Food Safety News reports, the salmonella outbreak 2015 infections so far are as follows: 16 cases in Ontario, 6 in Alberta, 3 in British Columbia as well as Quebec, 2 in Manitoba and Saskatchewan and 1 in both Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.
According to Van City Buzz, the salmonella outbreak 2015 cases were all reported between June 12 and September 20 and 62 percent of the patients were female, with average ages of 41 years.
Eight of the salmonella patients in total have been hospitalized but they've all responded well to treatment, having either already recovered or currently in the process of doing so; there have been no reports of deaths from the current salmonella scare.
Salmonella symptoms include abdominal cramps, fever, diarrhea, chills, nausea, vomiting and headaches, so if you're in one of the eight provinces named before and suffer from any of these, be sure to contact a health provider to check whether you're among the affected of this salmonella outbreak 2015.
