Infections with enterohemorrhagic E. coli are spreading in Gunma Prefecture.
This infection causes symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever when bacteria that are on food or hands enter the body.
By the 18th, the number of infected people in the prefecture had reached 40, the highest number in the past 20 years.
As infections tend to increase from early summer to autumn every year, the prefectural infection control center is calling for people to thoroughly wash their hands and manage hygiene.
Typical bacteria include O157 and O26, and in the week from June 9th to 15th alone, seven men and women in their teens to 60s were reported to be infected."
