OVERVIEWSo what is E. Coli? E. Coli is a bacterium that lives in

people and animals. E. Coli can cause bloody diarrhea, stomach cramps, vomiting and head aches. It can lead to severe anemia or kidney failure, which can also lead to death. You can get E. Coli by having contact with the feces of humans or animals, or unsanitary food. Symptoms of E. Coli start three or four days after contact with E. Coli.

TREATMENTS OF E. COLI

Avoid medicines and prescription or nonprescription in 5 to 10 days. Do not use antibiotics. Just get plenty of rest and lots of fluids.

Avoid: • Difenoxin with atropine (Motofen)• Diphenoxylate with atropine (Lomotil)• Loperamide (prescription-strength Imodium)• Do not take prescription for diarrhea

WAYS TO IMPROVE THE FAIR Take away the hamburger vendor and replace it with

a more safer hamburger company such as Wendy’s, Burger King, and McDonald’s.

We should add portable trailer bathrooms, to keep hands and places sanitary. Which is also inexpensive and portable.

Make sure we have reliable food vendors. Keep distances from food and animals to prevent E. Coli again.

HOW IT STARTED AND SPREAD The origin the of E. Coli is from the milk in the ice

cream and the elephant ears The cows and the goats from the petting zoo also spread E.

Coli. They may have had E. Coli in their digestive systems. The water may have also had E. coli bacteria. It can also come from unsanitary hands

HOW TO PREVENT E. COLI FROM STARTING1) Avoid pink (Raw/Undercooked) hamburger2) Drink pasteurized milk, juice, and cider3) Wash raw produce THOROUGHLY4) Wash utensils5) Keep raw foods separate6) Wash your hands a lot

RISK FACTORS OF E. COLI• Toddlers, children, and seniors are more vulnerable to E.

Coli• People who have had weakened immune systems by getting

AIDS, or other diseases like that are more vulnerable• Eating certain type of foods is dangerous and all foods

should be clean

WHO IS IN DANGERThe people who are endangered are Mary Smith,

Donna Jones, Jonathan Miller, Bruce Donaldson, David Jones, and Daryl Harper (already saved). The reason why they are endanger is because they all have had contact with animals, ate fair food and have the same symptoms.

There is a chance that Donna Black may be in danger. Charlie Thompson is in danger (due to the fact of contaminated water).

DIAGNOSIS If the person is dying, a kidney transplant would be

helpful. Also try using the element Manganese because it has been shown to stop E. Coli.
