However, those get-togethers could result in foodborne illness if you are not careful. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that each year roughly one in six Americans (or 48 million people) get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die of foodborne diseases. In Illinois, it is estimated that as many as 250,000 cases of foodborne illness may occur each year. However, because these illnesses can be mild and because the vast majority of them occur in the home, many go unreported. | | | | Date Created: | 12 11 2012 | | | | Agency ID: | 1351**12 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000046089 Original UID: 25639 FIRST WORD: Holiday | |
