Salisbury, MD --- The Wicomico County Health Department is informing residents of a current investigation being conducted by The Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene into a cluster of seven E. coli O157 infections. Although there have been no deaths, three of the seven have been hospitalized. A potential association exists with the consumption of unpasteurized Baugher’s apple cider.
In response to the investigation, Baugher’s Orchard & Farm, located in Westminster, MD, has voluntarily recalled all of its apple cider. Consumers should not consume the recalled cider and should discard any remaining cider.
At this time, it does not appear that any cider has been sold to establishments in our area, but residents should be aware of the potential.
A fact sheet on E. coli O157 can be found at http://edcp.org/factsheets/ecoli.cfm.
For questions, call the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene at 410-767-6490.

If they want to check on something... Tell them to go to the old Moss Hill Apts and check under the building for the nasty growing BLACK mold they tell their residents that is good mold.
There has been mold there for years and they do nothing about it but bring sewage trucks over to pump out under the building every couple years.
Use to be a great place until the new manager not rental manager but head honcho took over.. Mrs. O
