 Spring is a special time in the sports world; Major League Baseball
(MLB) begins its regular season while the National Hockey League (NHL)
and National Basketball Association (NBA) begin their playoffs. As
diehard sports fans dig into the latest statistics about their favorite
teams, we want to share some statistics about foodborne illness our
public health team is working to beat.
CDC estimates that 48 million Americans (one in six) fall ill with
food poisoning annually, resulting in more than 128,000 hospitalizations
and 3,000 deaths. Considering those odds it is likely that you, someone
you know, or some of your favorite MLB, NHL or NBA players may be
impacted by food poisoning this season. With that impact in mind, let�s
take a look at some of the key players on �Team Foodborne Illness� and
what you can do to make sure you stay in the game.
