感染沙門氏菌的症狀
A total of 35 people have now fallen ill from a salmonella outbreak that led to the recall of more than 200 million eggs last month. While no deaths have been reported, 11 people have been hospitalized with salmonellosis, the name for the infection from the bacteria.
自沙門氏菌爆發以來，共計35人病倒，導致2億多枚問題雞蛋被召回。雖然目前尚未有人因此離世，但11位沙門氏菌感染者已住院接受治療。The outbreak has been linked to eggs coming from Indiana-based Rose Acre Farms. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is warning consumers not to eat these eggs. "Consumers, restaurants, and retailers should not eat, serve, or sell recalled eggs produced by Rose Acre Farms. Throw them away or return them to the place of purchase for a refund."
疫情爆發可能是印第安納州玫瑰園農場（Rose Acre Farms）生產的雞蛋所致。疾病預防與控制中心警告消費者不要吃這些雞蛋。"消費者、餐館和零售商不能吃、供應或出售由玫瑰園農場生產的問題雞蛋。可以選擇扔掉或去購買的商店退掉這些雞蛋，獲得退款。"If you haven't yet, go check any eggs in your fridge. The cartons in question are sold under brand names including Coburn Farms, Country Daybreak, Food Lion, Glenview, Great Value, Nelms, Sunshine Farms, Publix, and Sunups.
如果你還沒有這麼做，請儘快檢查冰箱裏的雞蛋。包裝問題雞蛋的紙箱刻有如下幾個品牌：科本農場、Country Daybreak、食品之獅、格倫維尤、惠宜、Nelms、陽光農場、大衆超市和Sunups。
Hopefully, your eggs are either not a cause of concern, or you already threw away any suspicious cartons. Either way, here's what you need to know about salmonella to stay safe during this and future outbreaks.
希望你的雞蛋沒有問題，或者你早已扔掉了問題雞蛋。無論如何，爲了安全度過此次及未來的疫情爆發，你需要了解這些沙門氏菌知識。What is salmonella?
什麼是沙門氏菌？Salmonella is actually relatively common: There are about 1.2 million cases a year, and a million of those cases are caused by food, according to the CDC. Along with salmonella's fellow bacterial friends E. coli and listeria, it's one of the causes of what most of us would call food poisoning.
實際上，沙門氏菌比較常見：每年有120萬例病例，其中100萬左右的病例是由食物引起的，疾病預防與控制中心的數據表示。沙門氏菌及其'好朋友'大腸桿菌和李斯特菌是造成食物中毒的最常見細菌之一。There are a number of different types of bacteria in the salmonella family, explains food safety specialist Argyris Magoulas, who is affiliated with the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service. Two types-Salmonella Enteritidis and Salmonella Typhimurium-are the most common in the U.S.
美國農業部食品安全檢驗局的食品安全專家Argyris Magoulas解釋道，沙門氏菌家族有多種不同類型的細菌。其中腸炎沙門氏菌和鼠傷寒沙門氏桿菌這兩種類型在美國最爲常見。The bacteria live in human and animal intestines and make people sick when we eat foods contaminated with salmonella (gross, we know). Raw meat, poultry, and seafood may come in contact with fecal matter during butchering or harvesting; fruits and veggies run the risk of being washed in contaminated water. And if chickens are infected, they can lay eggs that contain salmonella bacteria, according to the Mayo Clinic.
沙門氏菌生活在人類和動物的腸道中，當我們食用被沙門氏菌感染的食物時（是的，很噁心），人們會生病。生肉、家禽和海鮮食品可能在屠宰或捕撈期間與糞便接觸；水果和蔬菜被污染的水沖洗也有可能受到感染。據梅奧診所表示，如果雞受到感染，它們下的蛋就可能含有沙門氏菌。
