ST. LOUIS, Nov. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Record-Breaking Food Poisoning Lawyer Jory Lange is investigating the Rockwood Summit High E. coli outbreak. 69 students and parents have contracted E. coli, according to the St. Louis County Department of Public Health.

"The Rockwood Summit High E. coli Outbreak is likely to grow," says record-breaking food poisoning Lawyer Jory Lange. "Symptoms usually began 1 to 10 days after eating E. coli-contaminated food. Once people get sick and go to the hospital, it takes time for stool tests to come back positive for E. coli and for those test results to be reported to hospitals. That's why the outbreak numbers will likely continue to rise."

"The scary thing about this outbreak is, as a consumer, there's nothing you can do to tell whether the food that you are buying is safe. You can't taste, smell, or see E. coli. Food that is contaminated with E. coli may look, smell, and taste just like any other food. This is why it's critical that restaurants who make and sell our food, ensure the food is safe before they sell it," said E. coli food poisoning attorney Jory Lange.

Record-Breaking Lawyer
