At least six cases of Salmonella have been reported in people living in or near Berea, Kentucky.   Both County and State health officials are investigating the illness, which covers three Kentucky counties.  According to an online report:

While it’s not unusual to see this many cases of salmonella sickness in a year, it’s unusual to see them at once, said Christie Green, spokeswoman for the Madison County Health Department.  "To have them in this cluster is what’s gotten our attention," she said.

The source of the Salmonella outbreak has not been identified.   Recent Salmonella outbreaks have been linked to Subway restaurants in Illinois, frozen dinners, and to raw milk.
