EHEC still spreading!

On Thursday it was the first light at the end of the tunnel: authorities found the first source of the massive infection of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC). At the same time, researchers could identify the exact type of pathogen. 
It seemed that the peak of this disease would soon pass. Consumers are now avoiding certain foods, so the number of new cases would drop eventually. But the numbers still arise!! now its more than 1000 people ill from the EHEC infektion
But the toll does not fall in this case, and it seems spread further. The problem is simple: Between the time of infection and the first serious symptoms days can go by, in some cases more than a week.
