Lombard Subway accused of serving bacteria-tainted sandwich

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
I was hospitalized with Shigella five years ago and health officials suspected a food handler who traveled back and forth to Mexico. In the U.S., it is estimated that about 700 persons die yearly from shigellosis. Young children and the elderly are at greatest risk of death from a Shigella infection. At least fifty-two people got sick during a Madison outbreak in 2008. Approximately 300 to 400 cases are reported in Wisconsin each year.

It is my opinion that when we allow easy access to illegal aliens we risk coming down with the unchecked illnesses of their countries.

Here is an informative article on Shigella prevention.
