Three Die In Australia After Consuming Contaminated Melon
Three Australians have died after consuming cantaloupes amid a listeria outbreak that has made at least 11 other people across the country sick in the past seven weeks.
Listeria bacteria, although harmless to most people, pose a severe threat to the elderly, pregnant women and those with serious conditions such as diabetes and cancer.
Most of the cases have been in the state of New South Wales, with others in Queensland and Victoria.
