Symptoms of E-Coli include bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramps, nausea, etc. Discovered in 1885, Escherichia coli, or E-Coli for short, accounts for many cases of food poisoning every year. It is imperative to wash all food items before you cook, and cook all meat well. You should also use clean pots, pans, and cooking utensils as well.
Chipotle has closed down 43 restaurants in the Washington State/Oregon area voluntarily due to the outbreak. Tests are being conducted and patients are being checked. Although the number is expected to spike, fast progress is expected in solving the E.Coli outbreak. To date, no deaths have been reported.
