[EX Q]: Paragraph: The research was released Monday as the state started its first statewide campaign to prevent the disease. The most recent case came out of Hilo, where a resident contracted the disease in late November. Department of Health officials suspect the Big Island patient accidentally ingested an infected slug while drinking from a garden house. People contract the disease by ingesting food contaminated with snails or slugs that carry parasitic larvae from rat droppings. The state's $300,000 campaign will include a series of television and radio announcements urging people to wash fruits and vegetables before eating them to avoid the potentially debilitating disease, which affects the brain and spinal cord. The Legislature earlier this year granted the Health Department $1 million over the next two years to control the spread of rat lungworm. There were 18 laboratory-confirmed cases in Hawaii this year. The Big Island has seen the most cases at 11, followed by Maui at six. Sue Jarvi, a professor at the University of Hawaii at Hilo, said the recent study shed light on how common the disease is in rats. Jarvi said rats near Hilo Harbor and Hilo International Airport are especially worrisome because some end up getting transported to the mainland and other countries, potentially exporting rat lungworm. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, UH-Hilo and researchers in Thailand are all reviewing parasites that were collected, Jarvi said. "The risk of rat lungworm disease is present on all islands and there are basic steps we can take each day to reduce this risk and help prevent infection," said Keith Kawaoka, the department's deputy director of environmental health. "Knowledge is the best defense we can provide people with to collectively protect our communities from rat lungworm disease in Hawaii." Claim: Hawaii launches campaign to prevent spread of rat lungworm.
[EX A]: Almost 94 percent of rats in the Hilo region are infected with the parasite that causes rat lungworm disease, a recent study on the meningitis-like disease showed.

[EX Q]: Paragraph: The Department of Health Services reported Friday that Wisconsin has seen 459 hospitalizations and 11 deaths due to flu complications this season. The number of hospitalizations is three times higher than last year at this time. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has elevated Wisconsin to its high flu category. South-central and southwestern Wisconsin have been hardest hit. And physicians said it could get worse before it gets better. "The best thought is that we are still going to be seeing it rise before we see it fall. Generally, the flu season lasts anywhere between four and 12 weeks, with eight kind of being the average," said Dr. Joseph McBride, an infectious disease specialist at UW Health in Madison. "I would imagine we are going to remain pretty high throughout January, but we'll see." In Milwaukee: 131 people have been hospitalized with the flu compared with 17 at this time last season. "We know that it's hitting some families pretty hard," Aurora Health Care pediatrician Dr. Kevin Dahlman said. State Health Officer Jeanne Ayers urged anyone who has not had an annual flu shot to get one. Claim: Flu hospitalizations spike across Wisconsin with 11 deaths .
[EX A]: Wisconsin health officials are urging people to protect themselves as flu numbers spike across the state.

[EX Q]: Paragraph: The woman who filed the lawsuit Wednesday, Kerrie Tabaka, said she was hospitalized for a week for treatment of hepatitis A and continues to experience fatigue and other symptoms. Earlier this month, health officials warned consumers in 11 states against eating some berries bought from the Fresh Thyme chain. Federal and state health officials have confirmed 14 cases of hepatitis A, including six in Nebraska, as part of the outbreak in Nebraska, Indiana, Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin. Fresh Thyme officials didn't immediately respond to the lawsuit filed Wednesday. The company has said it is cooperating with investigators to identify the source of the contamination. Hepatitis A is a virus that infects the liver and can cause mild, flu-like symptoms for several weeks. According to the World Health Organization, a small proportion of people infected with the virus could die from fulminant hepatitis. "Hepatitis A in berries has been generally a problem with imports," said Tabaka's lawyer, Bill Marler. "We look forward to getting to the bottom of where these berries were grown and processed and how this potentially deadly pathogen contaminated the berries." The Food and Drug Administration last week urged consumers in Nebraska, Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Minnesota, Ohio and Pennsylvania to not to eat any fresh blackberries bought from Fresh Thyme between Sept. 9 and Sept. 30. Anyone who froze the berries for later use should throw them out, the FDA said. Claim: Lawsuit filed over hepatitis A outbreak linked to berries.
[EX A]:
An Omaha woman who contracted hepatitis A after eating blackberries she bought at a Fresh Thyme grocery store has sued the company.
