"University of Arkansas Students Voice Concerns Over E. coli Outbreak"
Around 100 University of Arkansas students have shown symptoms of E. coli, prompting concerns among the student body. The Arkansas Health Department is investigating the outbreak and has collected data from over 3,200 people to determine the source. The university has stated that the outbreak is not connected to the public dining halls on campus. Symptoms can appear three to four days after ingesting the bacteria. While some students are not overly worried because E. coli is a bacteria and not a virus, they still emphasize the importance of being conscious of what they eat.
