There had been 49 cases reported across 10 states as of Tuesday afternoon, according to the CDC.
Those sickened by E. coli reported eating Quarter Pounders at McDonald's locations before falling ill, the CDC said. It was not yet clear which specific food ingredient may have been contaminated, but investigators were looking into two particular ingredients: fresh cut onions and fresh beef patties.
Among those cases, one person died and 10 people had been hospitalized. Most of the illnesses have been reported in Colorado and Nebraska ; other cases have been reported in Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Wyoming, Utah, Montana and Oregon.
Signs of dehydration, such as dry mouth and throat, feeling dizzy when standing up, and infrequent urinatingSome may develop serious kidney problems and could require hospitalization. Anyone who has eaten a McDonald's Quarter Pounder and has experienced any of the systems should contact their healthcare provider, the CDC said.politics
