E. coli O157:H7 is a potentially deadly bacterium that can cause dehydration, bloody diarrhea and abdominal cramps. The symptoms usually develop within two to eight days of exposure and last about a week. Some people can develop a type of kidney failure called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Children under 5 and older adults are at highest risk for HUS which is marked by easy bruising, pallor and decreased urine output. Anyone with these symptoms needs immediate medical care.
