The death toll in Germany from an outbreak of E.coli caused by infected cucumbers has risen to at least 10.
The cucumbers, believed to have been imported from Spain, were contaminated with E.coli which left people ill with hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS).
Hundreds of people are said to have fallen sick.

I noticed most of the infected were middlaged and older women, and we all know women eat more sallads right? :rolleyes:
The first thought that entered my mind when I heard about the demographics was that they had been shoving them up their vaginas.
As Germany, and they are all fucking perverts anyway, I will wager they have been shoving them in every hole they have then putting them in their mouths.
Just like that.

Source.
I can't blame them for accusing the Spanish of being dirty fuckers though.
Yeah, the reason they thought it was from spain is that they found EHEC in the cucumbers, they just found out later that it was not the exact version that was responsible for the outbreak... :facepalm:
And the spanish have the nerve to bitch about it.
The disease apparently has sourced from a company that is processing sprouts (such as bean sprouts and other).
They don't know it for sure yet, but a worker from that company has got ill with EHEC now, so they are quite certain.
Poor spanish cucumbers can't do anything for it and all got annihilated...
Looks like the sprouts might not be the source either...

What i was wondering about is that all the contaminated food could already have been eaten or thrown away as the incubation time is so long (3-14 days?) could mean the source will never be found and it will just die out after a while. The more recent cases could be from human transfer.
Edit: Ah looks like it was mentioned in the article too:
"WooHoo!"
