information about it and what our community needs to know about their record so i can stay out of the background so over the past four months we've seen about seven times as many star salmonella cases among people of east african descent than we've seen in the past four years that's that's a lot now obviously kind of start our interest and made us want to investigate so we've had a total of forty one cases the majority of them have been east africa and we have had four people hospitalized which is always a little bit scary and so what we've done was what normally happens is when people get sick they go to the hospital and the hos interviewing people who are sick and doing drugs when you can talk more about how the interview went and what we learned through the process of interviewing so we usually try to interview everyone who gets sick and we ask everybody the same questions and things that it deals with usually is during the exposure period so the time when you would likely have been in contact with whatever term got you sick we try to ask things about travel some people come back after you know going abroad they come back from their vacation with family noah so we try to read those out that's not really a pressing public health concern for us what we do then is we compare all the answers that people what we'll do is look at all the things that all people recently have said and see if there's anything in common and that's actually how we started to kind of get to the bottom of this outbreak here too so what we learned the process of asking questions we learned there was a question that was answered by most of the people that we interviewed and out was people consume for all beef during the exposure period see a doctor and then the doctor ordered the correct tests and the correct tests got reported as you can see how things don't necessarily get from here to here a lot of people don't go to their doctors a lot of people aren't even sick and after that they you know they feel they need to go to the doctors so we usually get probably around three hundred cases a year reported to us a seven out in king county so that's i mean it's not a small  so most of the time it's just like a diarrheal illness and it can be bad it can be very bad or it can be very mild other symptoms might include farming that's not so common stomach cramps stomach aches it can also get into your blood and that's sometimes where it gets a little bit more severe and you can develop people can develop fevers and people can have to be hospitalized wanting to  that point as far as not bringing it to our community particularly when people are sick and they have diarrhea for multiple days they need to seek out medical care in particular source is raw beef consumption offer all meat is a prime opportunity for backyard to affect human beings so the consumption of sure way of doing the second method is to make sure that people are pin meat from approved sources these are sources that are inspected and regulated between below forty one degree four and not keep it prepare at home that can help them control the symptoms so first and foremost if if you know diarrhea is going on for more than three days we really recommend that people go and they see their doctor because they are the ones who can provide the best recommendations for treatment and things like that if you have any sort of diarrhea i mean the most important thing is to stay hydrated so just replenishing fluids things like that monitoring for other symptoms like if you children are not your anything that's that's not good you need to go see a doctor fever things like that that indicates that it might be a more severe illness and what i'm getting it's probably more com kids adults or if it's kids more than adults kids are more easily infected but anybody can get sick and that's a problem too even if for example with you know things like even if it's never made you sick before in your life and you've been eating it f need to be aware of some of them having come from a variety of things usually you're right we associate it mostly actually with with poultry with chicken things like that it can also be like if you have exposure to farms are animals outdoors they can carry salmon i get it that way unfortunately it's in a variety you know it can get into a variety of food so it can get into things like there was one there was an outbreak linked with sesame seeds fresh produce you know you need to make sure they get washed and can also pass that person to person so that's why it's really important that if you're sick or your child sick you know if you're sick you shouldn't be preparing food if you work at a restaurant you need to not go to work while you're sick you need to wait at least a day before returning to work if you're to fits your child they need to not go to daycare because they can get other kids sick as well if your health care provider like a nurse or a doctor you shouldn't be seeing patients until at least twenty four hours after you've got you've lastly i want to ask you that there's been an outreach effort done by your department recently in our community and other communities if you can tell us a little bit more about that and other any future plans to conduct  went to ethiopian community in seattle of rainier and they have once a month they have breakfast gathering and we were there to have communication and conversation with  result the risk of being infected we one thing we hear from our community members is that that you know it's very common to eat this kind of food in our community but why now what happened now that you know that would happen to be an outbreak is hospitalized i believe two or three the infection actually quite to their blood which can be more severe can cause fevers and at least one of those was hospitalized for more than a week some of the younger children had bloody diarrhea which is one of the more severe symptoms so seriously ill i'm assuming because they did not report it right away yeah sometimes waiting to you can wait too long before you go seek medical care and that you know that prevents your illness from being caught early when it's so in terms of getting additional information whether about  quote office officer for protection with public health c l king county two or six two six
