U.S. Health officials are warning about a new salmonella outbreak, tied to cucumbers grown in Palm Beach County.

“The message would be to discard cucumbers if you don’t know where they came from or if you know that they came from Florida until this outbreak goes away,” said infectious disease physician, Dr. Kleper De Almeida with #PalmBeachHealthNetwork.

Dr. De Almeida said anyone who’s eaten cucumbers could experience diarrhea, stomach pain, fever, and dehydration.

“The people that are most commonly affected by these severe symptoms are children younger than 5 and adults older than 65,” said Dr. De Almeida.
