Phil Rooney with the Douglas County Health Department says those who consume tainted food usually feel ill within 12 to 72 hours. He adds it is a very uncomfortable and can make someone violently ill with fever and abdominal cramps. Several of the victims had been hospitalized.
Rooney says it is a massive undertaking having nearly 400-million eggs recalled. That equals more than one egg for every person in the country.
