9 sick with E. coli in Scotland

Nine people have been sickened with E. coli after two outbreaks in Dumfries and Galloway, including a six-year-old child who had to be taken into hospital after suffering complications before being discharged last night.

Health experts say the source of the infection is contact with cattle and sheep and do not believe food was involved.
