*** Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young
children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons
infected with salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In
rare cases, infection with salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and
producing more severe illnesses, such as arterial infections (i.e. infected aneurysms), endocarditis
and arthritis. For more information on Salmonella, please visit the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention’s Website at http://www.cdc.gov.]

These were received yesterday from the Air Force in Qatar and posted to the Operation Popcorn photo gallery today with the follow quote:

"Here is what the great popcorn operation was like! We unloaded the two 40 ft trailers by hand into reefers for the 379th and onto pallets to send out to the rest of the bases. It took us 2 full hours with about 25 people from AFFOR/A1, 379th EFSS and ELRS." ~~ Kimberly ----, Capt, USAF
