As the United States braces itself for the impending Zika epidemic, another ailment that could endanger the lives of just as many Americans is emerging.
The state of Wisconsin has seen an unexpected outbreak of Elizabethkingia, a bacterial infection that is normally present in the environment. The strain in question, however, is not only very strong but potentially lethal.
Lest you doubt the danger posed by the infection, 18 people are already believed to have died from Elizabethkingia in Wisconsin. This is out of 52 people reported to be infected in the state, with additional cases being identified in neighboring states.
Medical authorities say that at least one person has contracted the infection in Minnesota, while one person, 52 year-old Kimberly Cencula, has actually died from the bacteria in Illinois. Disturbingly, how this new form of Elizabethkingia travels remains a mystery to health officials, who insist that it is a matter of “intense scientific investigation.”

” intense scientific investigation ” , MY$#%&!@* Just another little something in the area of BIOCHEMICAL WARFARE. .They either profit, or exterminate a few human resources. .The regression in our medical fields is astonishing. .Instead of curing more diseases, they are magically discovering very profitable new ones. .smh. .
Something brought in with the REFUGEES…?
Who do you think started it.
From refugees???
“impending Zika epidemic”? Really, what a joke when the virus is for sale on the internet – easy access to anyone at anytime and we have an EPIDEMIC about to attack us all? OMG, I’m scared – what will I do? Buy it here: http://www.atcc.org/products/all/VR-84.aspx
Give me a name for this strain of bacteria – I’ll research it and find out if it, too, can be bought on the internet. Zika has turned out to be such a disappoinment to the CDC – we’re not scared at all – nor will that many people be fooled into getting the vaccine.
REALLY, HAZEL! HOW INTERESTING…THE DIRTY RATS!!!!
Yep. I thought so, too. Zika has been around for a very long time and it’s just now a problem? Something’s up – just don’t get the vaccine.
Another government surprise just like Zika.
