More Cases of Listeriosis Reported in Wyoming From Tainted Cantaloupes

Two more cases of exposure to Listeria in Wyoming have been reported. Wyoming state health officials are investigating whether the death last week of a Sheridan County woman is related to contaminated cantaloupes from Colorado. Two other nonfatal cases of listeriosis in Laramie County have been tied to the cantaloupes. Symptoms of infection include fever, muscle aches, diarrhea, headache, stiff neck, confusion and convulsions. More than 20 people have now become sick across several states and some have died from exposure to the tainted cantaloupe. Health officials are advising people not to eat "Rocky Ford" cantaloupe from Jensen Farms of Granada, Colo.
