An 8-month-old baby is among those to have fallen ill, according to health officials.
Of the 24 individuals the authorities have spoken to, 21 had contact with a puppy, with 15 involving a pet store. Some 12 of those 15 cases were tied to the Petland chain, including 5 employees. Officials have not identified a single common puppy supplier linked to the outbreak.
Anyone who touches a puppy or dog, handles their food, or cleans up after them—including their urine or feces— is advised to wash their hands thoroughly with soap and water. Dry your hands using a clean paper towel or air dry, not on clothing. In the absence of soap and water, hand sanitizer can be used, the CDC said. Adults should watch children while they wash their hands.
