The recent 5 cases of E.Coli found in Saint John and Fredericton are connected, according to health officials.
Chief medical officer of health Dr. Eilish Cleary says they’re still trying to find the source of the infection and if they’re connected to the 10 cases of E.Coli in Nova Scotia.
This strain of E.Coli is the same as the one found in the Walkerton, Ont., water disaster in 2000 that killed seven people. Symptoms of the gastro-intestinal illness include severe cramps, bloody diarrhea and vomiting.
