Salmonella is one of the most common intestinal illnesses in the United States, but that does not mean that it is harmless. Although many people stay at home with what they call a 'stomach flu' and - since they don't get tested - never know that they have Salmonella, the bacterium can make others life-threateningly ill. This is especially true for children, older individuals, and anyone who is immune-compromised.
The Cook County Health Department is urging anyone who consumed food or drink at the Skokie Country club between June 12 and June 24 and are experiencing abdominal cramps, diarrhea, and/or fever to contact them.
