Six people were hospitalized in total after consuming milkshakes at a Tacoma restaurant.
Three people have died after being infected with Listeria bacteria traced to a Tacoma, Wash., restaurant’s ice cream machine, health officials said.
Public health experts tested the genetic fingerprint of the milkshake bacteria and matched it to the Listeria strain that had sickened the six people between Feb. 27 and July 22. All six people who got sick had conditions that compromised their immune systems’ ability to fight off infection, the health department said. Officials urged anyone in the vulnerable category to check in with their doctor if they felt sick after downing a milkshake from the Tacoma restaurant in recent weeks. Once detected, Listeria can be treated with antibiotics.
