ALERT: Central Texas, Be Aware That Salmonella Is On The Rise!
One thing that is very important to all residents in Texas? Their health!
We all want to feel good every day while we're in the Lone Star State. It's hard to believe, but there's a lot that we get attacked by in terms of germs during the day. To say the least, if we could thank our immune systems in person, we would.
It's a fact of life that everybody gets sick at one point in time. But some of the sicknesses that we get can be avoided if proper warnings are issued. Sadly, one of those warnings has appeared in the new year already.
One disease, Salmonella, has seen an increase in cases. Central Texas also needs to be on alert as well, as our area is affected.
