Why E. coli O145 Is Dangerous

Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli O145 can cause severe abdominal cramps, bloody diarrhea, and vomiting. While most healthy adults recover within a week, children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems are at higher risk of developing hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a potentially life-threatening complication leading to kidney failure.

What To Do If You Have the Recalled Berries
