While your infosheet is well-intentioned, it leaves the implication that ingestion from 2007 can cause symptoms in 2009! This implication is a gross exaggeration of the infection process taught in schools and smacks of the same emotionalism and sensationalism that are ruining the credibility of the regular media. Now that I question your integrity, further messages by your organization will also be treated with mistrust... Which may make ME patient zero for the next outbreak that YOU could have prevented by JUST TELLING THE FACTS! "E coli can cause paralysis, meet Stephanie Smith!"
