Brookshire Farms pumpkin patch closed after E. coli outbreak
Brookshire Farms in San Luis Obispo County, California, closed its pumpkin patch on October 30 after San Luis Obispo County health officials said five confirmed cases of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli were linked to the farm, prompting the decision to suspend operations for the remainder of the pumpkin season. The county health department, led by County Health Officer Dr.
Christy Mulkerin, had earlier confirmed on October 27 that five visitors – including three children who were placed in intensive care – had contracted the infection after visiting the farm between Oct. 16 and Oct. 26, and urged anyone with symptoms to seek medical care.
