E. coli O157:H7 is a potentially deadly bacterium that can cause bloody diarrhea, dehydration, and in the most severe cases, kidney failure. The very young, seniors and persons with weak immune systems are the most susceptible to foodborne illness.

Always fully cook your meat. Especially anything that is ground up.

Excellent find S&F!
PS
you would get more attention if you titled your OP:
Bush ground up in burger
or
Pelosi patties have e-coli!

I find it sad as what gets passed by on ATS

That's the best one I've heard in a while.

Yeah..I don't know why some things get more attention that others here. There's a toilet paper conspiracy that was racking up the flags earlier, but posts about peoples health and well being don't get noticed.
