Salmonella Outbreak Linked to Cucumbers Sickens Dozens Across States

Imagine some cucumbers made people sick because they had tiny germs called Salmonella.

These cucumbers were sold in many stores and even on cruise ships.

Forty-five people got sick with things like fever and tummy aches, and some had to go to the hospital.

The company that grew the cucumbers is called Bedner Growers, and they're working with the government to find out where the germs came from.

This isn't the first time this has happened, so people are asking for stricter rules to keep food safe.

If you have cucumbers from those stores, it's best to throw them away to avoid getting sick.
