      Actually this outbreak is because of uncooked fruits/berries/vegetables. Basically the farm workers don’t have bathrooms or handwashing stations, so they go on the side of the field and return to work without washing their hands. Then poop bacteria gets on the produce they pick and it makes people sick.

      In the United States the average farmer is a millionaire with a 6 figure income and they could easily afford to have port a potties and handwashing stations. But they’re too cheap or lazy so 1000+ people have gotten sick.
