The effects of E. Coli are never well understood, untill you see exactly how it can change the life of a person so sudden and unexpecatadely. Today we decided to show you all a video, which we got from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HA8iyzYnXuc&feature=youtu.be, telling the story of a young woman named Stephanie Smith. She contracted E. Coli after eating a contaminated burger. Hopefyllu, after this video we can all further grasp what it means to battle E. Coli and the importance of making sure our food and water supply are clean of this bacteria..
She is not alone in her battle. E. Coli infects many people, although the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) say that E. Coli 0157 cases have "dropped significantly in 2009." (Young, CNN.com)
Even though E. Coli infections are dropping, this does not mean we can let our gaurd down. Remember to stay aware, to stay safe.
