There are many symptoms with the E Coli. And one of the most obvious symptoms is having a bloody diarrhea (Not all forms of E Coli have the same symptoms).

Other complicated results include constant seizures, coma, stroke, pancreatic, and hypertension. Another serious complication commonly related with E Coli is significant central nervous system deterioration; this symptom is restricted to adults.

You may find them in ground beef, poultry, seafood, and even in highly acidic salami, The carriers of E Coli include cattle, deer’s, sheep, and even vegetables, unpasteurized mile, apple juice, and even local water systems.
