Salmonella Outbreak Linked to Cantaloupes - CDC

Adults 65 and older, children under 5 years, and people with weakened immune systems are more likely to get very sick from Salmonella. In this outbreak, 40 sick people resided in long-term care facilities and 30 children attended childcare centers before they got sick.
