    Cases of deadly E. coli food poisoning surged by nearly 80
    per cent in a year, new official figures show — with six
    Britons confirmed to have died from the infection.

    The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) reported 2,063
    confirmed instances of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC)
    in 2022, up from 1,151 the year before.

    STEC is one of the most dangerous forms of food-borne E. coli,
    capable of causing life-threatening kidney failure, serious
    blood clotting disorders, and has also been linked to
    colon cancer.

    Alongside the deaths, 399 patients were hospitalised in
    England due to severe symptoms, requiring urgent medical
    attention.

    Don't worry too much about the alarmist 'cancer'
    thing - that's "DailyMail" hype - EVERYTHING
    is doom ......

    However e.coli is bad enough unto itself.

    There SEEMS to be a HUGE uptick in food-poisoning
    cases - UK/EU and USA - of late. Not just e.coli
    but good old salmonella and listeria.

    Sorry, but this sounds like it's DELIBERATE.
    Easiest thing in the world to smuggle in something
    dipped in an evil bacteria into a food facility.
    Wuhan can surely provide prime species ....
