Campus runs: Colorado latest to be hit with E. coli O157:H7

Guelph, Michigan State, Georgetown, that kid in Amy’s class yesterday.

There’s a lot of barf on campus.

The University of Colorado at Boulder has just announced an E. coli O157:H7 outbreak amongst seven CU students going back to Sept. 23, 2008.

Initial investigations indicate that the source is off campus and on-campus dining is not related to the source. Boulder County Public Health staff is working closely with CU and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) to identify the source of the outbreak and any additional cases among students and the public.
