Mail-Order Chicks Infect 63 People, CDC Says

Mail-order chicks from a single Ohio hatchery have infected 63 people with Salmonella, putting a third of them into the hospital, federal health officials said Friday. It’s the sixth outbreak linked to Mt. Healthy Hatcheries in Ohio, and it’s affecting people in 23 states, the Centers for Disease control and Prevention reports.

“This hatchery uses multiple source flocks to obtain eggs and chicks, so it is unclear at this time where the contamination originated. This is the same mail-order hatchery that has been associated with multiple outbreaks of human Salmonella infections linked to live poultry in the past, including in 2012 and 2013,” CDC says in an update on its website...

Ohio? I thought most mail order chicks came from Russia and the Philippines!
