ÁNTSZ: Avoid the consumption of sprouts!

According to the National Public Health and Medical Service (ÁNTSZ ), at households and at other places there may still have some seeds, which presumably caused the epidemic diarrhea in Germany, so the ÁNTSZ continues to recommend that everyone should avoid the consumption of sprouts.

The National Epidemiology Center reported that “the diarrheal disease that outbroke in Germany was caused by a previously rarely seen, O104: H4 serotype E. coli.” French and German epidemiological studies indicate that the most likely source of infection are the raw eaten, fenugreek seeds. A smaller secondary human to human infection was also confirmed – shows the communication of ÁNTSZ sent to MTI on Monday.
