In the current outbreak, officials found salmonella bacteria from samples on the farm that matched samples from people who got sick.Health officials are investigating where the potentially contaminated cucumbers were distributed. Several people who fell ill ate cucumbers on cruise ships leaving ports in Florida, according to the CDC. Organic cucumbers are not affected, officials said.

Retailers should notify consumers who may have bought the tainted produce. If consumers don’t know the source of cucumbers, they should throw them away, officials said.Symptoms of salmonella poisoning include diarrhea, fever, severe vomiting, dehydration and stomach cramps.

The collaborative helps “vet through all the research that’s out there,” said Shari Kelly, executive director of perinatal services. “It’s just so important to really understand how we as health care providers can make a difference.”

For example, if a woman loses a certain amount of blood after a vaginal delivery, “we know to activate what we call here a ‘code crimson,’ which brings blood to the bedside,” Kelly said. “We can act fast and stop any potential hemorrhage.”She said the collaborative has also helped reduce racial inequities — bringing down the rate of cesarean sections among Black moms, for example.
