Elizabethkingia, a rare bacteria that infects the blood, has taken the lives of eighteen people in Wisconsin. Since last November, there have been 44 people infected, but as of today, the CDC and the Department of Health Services in Wisconsin have not pinpointed the source.
The CDC said that although Elizabethkingia is a common organism in the environment, including water and soil, it rarely causes infections. A variety of potential sources, including healthcare products, water sources and the environment, was being tested, the CDC said, but none of these have been found to be a source of the bacteria.
Interviews with those infected were being done by CDC and state investigators.
“What does their lives look like that could give us a clue as to where they came in contact with the bacteria?” McKeown asked out loud. Family members of those who died were also interviewed.
“Even as they’re grieving, they are providing information to help,” she said.
Symptoms may include fever, shortness of breath, chills or skin rash, but only a blood test can determine if it is the Elizabethkingia bacteria.

are at risk for more diseases
because non of them are
screaned like people used to
And of course the political
bosses don’t care
It’s a proven fact when you move mass amounts of people from different parts of the world these thins happen and people are doing this on purpose. just like all of these things starting to pop up again like whooping cough and measles and a list of proven illnesses that have shot thru the roof when all these people started flowing in
Kelli you are so right
Thank you hon!
this isn’t mysterious – it is disease of some sort that was brought over to the United States by Illegals and Muslims or was taken out of the CDC buildings by someone to infect Wisconsinites and kill them. It is just one of another illness that occurred in Wisconsin, that my doctor couldn’t figure out how to deal with it. No medications were helping and I had it among others that ended up with it 1 month and 1/2. I believe the Government has everything to do with it. It is being brought here and is an experiment to see which will kill Americans.
Illegals bring old sickness back to America
