That’s unfortunate news. Anyone who purchased cucumbers recently should check their source to ensure they were not part of this recall. You should not consume them if in doubt. The cucumbers linked to the illnesses were distributed to a number of states. The CDC recommends disposing of them or returning to the place of purchase. The CDC and other health organizations are working to stop further spread of the illnesses. If you are feeling sick after eating cucumbers, you should seek medical help promptly. Symptoms to watch for include diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps.
