Salmonella Cases Reported in N.M. Up to 97


Associated Press
      SANTA FE — The federal government plans to test numerous types of fresh produce in the hunt for the source of the nation's record salmonella outbreak.
    But investigators are mum on exactly what other vegetables are getting tracked.
    As of today, New Mexico health officials report that the state has had 97 salmonella victims. Those cases come from 19 of the state's 33 counties.
    New Mexico patients began becoming sick between May 11th and June 20th. The cases peaked on May 23rd.
    Nationally, at least 179 people fell ill in June, the latest on June 20.
    That's more than two months after the first salmonella illnesses appeared, meaning the outbreak is continuing weeks longer than food-poisoning specialists had expected.
    New Mexico is urging people to eat tomatoes only if they are known to be from a safe source.
