The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is warning backyard poultry farmers that their chickens may be linked to a growing salmonella outbreak. The notice of investigation, posted Thursday, said 163 people are confirmed to have been sickened across 43 states. While none have died, a third of those sickened were children under 5 years of age, the agency said.
The CDC warns that there are likely many more cases as few people are tested for salmonella, a bacterial infection that in most people resolves on its own in a week or less after causing diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps. People younger than 5 or older than 65 are likelier to experience more severe illness and are at increased risk of hospitalization, the CDC says. Safety tips shared by the public health agency include having hand sanitizer near your coop and frequently washing hands after touching poultry.
“Don’t kiss or snuggle backyard poultry, and don’t eat or drink around them,” the CDC writes. “This can spread Salmonella germs to your mouth and make you sick.” The agency said children are more likely to get sick from salmonella, and advised supervising them around flocks, and preventing children under 5 years of age from touching the birds. The news follows what was a bad year for salmonella safety in America’s backyard poultry farms, according to the CDC. There were 17 multi-state salmonella outbreaks linked to backyard flock contact in all 50 states in 2020, the agency said.
“The number of illnesses reported [in 2020] was higher than the number reported during any of the past years’ outbreaks linked to backyard flocks,” the CDC wrote. Salmonella outbreaks linked to backyard poultry flocks were reported every year from 2020 back to 2017
COLUMBIA, Mo. – Iowa State (32-22, 6-12 Big 12) fell 8-0 to UNI (32-18, 20-7 MVC) in the first game of the NCAA Columbia Regional on Friday night at Mizzou Softball Stadium.
UNI 8, Iowa State 0
The Panthers were able to strike first with a big second inning, plating four runs in the frame. Taylor Hogan notched a lead-off single, followed by a walk for Sammy Moss. Brooke Snider then gave the Panthers the lead with a two-RBI double down the left field line. An Emmy Wells RBI base hit pushed two more UNI runs across later in the inning to extend the lead to 4-0.
UNI busted the game open further in the top of the third. Madison Parks extended the lead to 5-0 with a two-out RBI single to left, followed by a three-run home run by Sammey Bunch.
Those would be the final UNI runs of the day, but it was what the Panthers needed thanks to an excellent performance in the circle by Kailyn Packard. The sophomore allowed just one hit in 5.0 innings of work.
On Deck
Iowa State will face either UIC or Missouri on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. at Mizzou Softball Stadium in an elimination game. Should the Cyclones win, they will play another elimination game at 6 p.m. CT.

(Radio Iowa) – This week’s announcement from Governor Kim Reynolds eliminating mask mandates in schools and most businesses is making some Iowans anxious. Plus, the C-D-C says fully vaccinated people no longer need to socially distance or wear masks indoors, with some exceptions. Douglas Gentile, a psychology professor at Iowa State University, says many of us will need to ease slowly into resuming pre-pandemic activities.
“If you go out and you find ‘Oh my God, I’m freaking out,’ then leave,” Gentile says. “There’s nothing wrong with that, and try again another day, but don’t assume you’re never going to be okay going out to dinner again.” Gentile says it’s normal if activities don’t initially feel the same way they did before the pandemic, and if fully vaccinated people want to continue wearing masks, that’s also fine. Gentile says despite the drastic change in public health guidance, Iowans need to take the return to “normal” at their own pace.
“Don’t believe that your feelings should be the same as anyone else’s,” Gentile says. “We all handle stress differently. We’ve all come through this situation differently. We’ve all had very different experiences of it.” COVID-19 has affected the mental health of many Iowans, and some parents are noticing changes in their children. Janette Lems, of Johnston, says the trouble for her kids began when they started school last fall and she sought out in-person play therapy.
“I called eight different places. I was told that they had no openings until May and this was in January,” Lems says. “I had no idea that there were so many troubled children that were, at the age of five or six, having to seek out mental health.” According to the CDC, mental health-related emergency room visits increased 24 percent for young children and 31 percent for teens from March to October of last year compared to 2019.
