Don?óÔé¼Ôäót eat that Dough!
Looks like Louisianans haven?óÔé¼Ôäót been eating prepackaged Nestle Toll House refrigerated cookie dough and thank goodness.
As of Tuesday, June 30, 2009, 72 persons infected with a strain of E. coli O157:H7 with a particular DNA fingerprint have been reported from 30 states (None in Louisiana!). Of these, 51 have been confirmed by an advanced DNA test. More information is available from the CDC.
I’m sure my warning last month (http://www.lsuhsc.edu/library/news/?p=585) is the reason everyone has stayed healthy. I must admit I don’t get the raw cookie dough obsession; I’d rather eat hot cookies.
