An egg recall was issued on August 13th for 228 million eggs from three Wright County egg farms.  Today, the recall has expanded to include all five Wright County egg farms and 360 million eggs.  The initial recall came after several reported cases of salmonella food poisoning.  Salmonella is a type of bacteria that gets into the gastrointestinal tract and causes food poisoning.  The expanded recall comes after epidemiologic investigators recently determined that the salmonella could be traced to all five farms.

The eggs being recalled were shipped to wholesalers and distribution centers in several states across the county on May 16th.  Reports of food poisoning related to the eggs are clustered in Arizona, California, Colorado, Illinois, Nevada, North Carolina, Texas and Wisconsin.  

Consumers who believe they have purchased the eggs should not consume them, and instead return them to where they purchased them for a refund.

The bagged salad maker, Fresh Express, and the USDA have announced the recall of 2,825 cases of Fresh Express' "Veggie Lovers Salad".  The recall comes after bacteria was found in a bag of the salad in Ohio.  

The product being recalled has a product code 1208 and a use-by date of August 10th.  The recalled product has been distributed in stores throughout Wisconsin, so the USDA urges that if you have purchased this product, you should avoid consuming it and throw it out.  

The bacteria found in one bag is called listeria monocytogenes and can cause fever, nausea, diarrhea, and muscle aches.  Most healthy adults and children will rarely become ill from this type of bacteria, however it can have more serious affects on pregnant women and adults with weakened immune systems.

This is the third recall Fresh Express has made in the past three months.  The other two recalls involved the presence of E. coli and salmonella.

The Wisconsin State Patrol is investigating a motor vehicle accident that killed a 16-year-old teenager.

The accident occurred in late July when a 16-year-old was driving and was hit by a police car. The police officer was on his way to a bar fight and was traveling on Highway 35 when he collided with the teen on County OT. The officer had his lights and sirens on when the accident occurred.

The 16-year-old was ejected from the car during the accident and was rushed to the hospital where he was later pronounced dead. The investigation remains under investigation, but officials hope to discover the details as soon as possible.

Car accidents can cause serious accident and happen very unexpectedly, our condolences are with the friends and family of the victim.

The New York Times recently published an article about a new phenomenon. We are all familiar with the dangers of drinking and driving, but they say authorities are concerned about a new type of driving under the influence. Police say they are seeing an increased number of drivers impaired by prescription drugs. While these drugs are legal when prescribed to a person, a lot of these drugs can seriously interfere with your ability to operate a motor vehicle.

Police are having trouble convicting these drivers in the courtroom. Prescription drugs affect everyone differently, so it is hard to come up with a limit like the one used for alcohol. Also, some people require the medication for essential survival. Law enforcement says that, at the end of the day, they are having trouble determining when a precription drug is too much of a danger to other drivers on the road.

The New York Times brings up a Wisconsin accident to demonstrate the dangers of prescription drugs.  "A former physician slammed his S.U.V. into a Honda Accord in April 2008, killing the pregnant driver and her 10-year-old daughter. Prosecutors said the physician, Mark Benson, had high levels of the sleep aid Ambien in his system, as well as Xanax, an anti-anxiety drug, and oxycodone, an opiate painkiller. Mr. Benson was sentenced to 30 years in prison."

This was an easier case for police to prove because this combination of drugs should not be taken together.

Taking precription pills that impair driving and getting behind the wheel, is negligent and can put other drivers in harm's way.

Dr. Saul Weiner realized, after having an elderly patient with rapid weight loss which presented as cancer but turned out to be from homelessness, that there is a shortcoming in the medical field. He calls them, "'contextual errors,' or the failure by doctors to consider an individual's social or economic circumstances when diagnosing illness or prescribing treatment," reports The Los Angeles Times.

Weiner decided to conduct a study using the "secret shopper" method. He would disguise several doctors as patients participating in a medical study. These sessions were audiotaped. It was the largest "mystery doctor" study on record.

According to the study, when a diagnosis involved a socioeconomic factor, the error rate was 78 percent. Weiner says this a wake-up call to doctors. They need to be asking the right questions and be able to speak in the same simple language of their patients. They also need to have a list of social services on hand.

According to The Los Angeles Times, "The Medical Board of California has accused the Beverly Hills fertility doctor who treated octuplets mother Nadya Suleman of transferring too many embryos in a second woman and failing to order additional tests for a patient suffering from stage 3 ovarian cancer."

Dr. Michael Kamrava implanted seven embryos in a 48-year-old patient. The medically accepted number is two. The woman then found out she was having quadruplets. Problems with the pregnancy caused the babies to be delivered six weeks early in a C-section. The L.A. Times reports, "The mother lost one fetus during the pregnancy, and another was born with 'profound developmental delays.'"

Another incident revealed that Kamrava impanted an embryo into a woman with a history of cancer. An ultrasound revealed signs of cancer, but the doctor implanted the embryo anyway. She was unable to become pregnant and decided to try another doctor. That doctor diagnosed her with stage 3 ovarian cancer.

Tri-Union Seafoods, which produces Chicken of the Sea, recalled certain 12-ounce tuna cans in an announcement July 1st. The company reported that there was a production error that could have resulted in improper sealing of the cans.

Improper seals could result in the growth of botulism spores. When infected with Foodborne Botulism, the muscles begin paralysis. If not treated in time, the lungs will become paralyzed, resulting in the inability to breathe and, eventually, death.

These cans have been distributed to ten states including Wisconsin, California, Colorado, Indiana, Maine, Nebraska, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Utah.

So far, no one has fallen ill from these defective products.

Police are hopeful that new drunk driving laws and harsher punishments will deter people from getting behind the wheel after a couple of drinks. Fox 11 reports that the new law will contain harsher penalties for fourth-time offenders. This would make the fourth time a felony if it occurred within five years of another drunk driving citation.

The law also states that ignition interlocks will be required for any offender with a blood alcohol concentration of .15 or above. Fox 11 writes that, currently, a judge can choose whether to order the device which prevents your from starting a vehicle if you have alcohol on your breath.

Fox 11 reports that, "Wisconsin remains the only state that doesn't always criminalize first offense drunken driving. It's still a traffic ticket under the new law, unless you have a minor in the car."

Drunk driving can seriously impair one's ability to drive and can cause needless accidents. If you or someone you know has been injured in a car accident, call a Lake Geneva motor vehicle accident lawyer from Habush Habush & Rottier, S.C., at 1-800-2-HABUSH.

Last summer, a woman arguing with her husband while operating a vehicle lost control of the car and hit a motorcyclist, throwing him over a nearby bridge and killing him.  The woman was charged with homicide by neglect and her court date was scheduled for June of 2010.  It has since been delayed to August of the same year.  However, the negligent homicide she has been charged with has not prevented her from breaking more laws behind the wheel.  Less than a month after the July 2009 accident that resulted in the death of the Wisconsin motorcyclist, she received a speeding ticket in River Hills.  When she failed to pay the ticket, her license was suspended. 

In December 2009 she was charged with driving with a suspended license.  She received a speeding ticket the same night for driving 22 miles per hour over the speed limit.  The family of the deceased motorcylist is very upset that the woman is back behind the wheel endangering the lives of others and insists that even though they live out of town, they will be in attendance at the woman's trial in August.
