The salmonella outbreak
caused by pig ear dog treats has already affected over 140 people in 35 states, with the number still growing. Salmonella can affect both pets and owners and since the contaminated products look and smell the same as any normal product people are more likely to handle them and fall ill. The FDA is advising anyone who has handled pig ear dog treats and is feeling symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever to visit a health care provider as soon as possible.
Ron Simon
, a national
salmonella lawyer
who is represented people affected by this outbreak, stated
“Persons with salmonellosis usually recover completely, although it may take several months before their bowel habits are entirely normal. Recent studies have indicated that 25% of patients reported altered bowel habits six months after a bacterial gastroenteritis illness. Unfortunately, some people develop two more serious complications: Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Reiter’s Syndrome.”
