An E. coli outbreak connected to several recalled brands of bagged organic carrots has left one person dead and over a dozen hospitalized, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Grimmway Farms has recalled its organic carrots after health officials linked them to an E. coli outbreak. A woman who was hospitalized sued the company this week.

When outbreaks coincide with flu and cold season, it's important to know which symptoms to look out for, and what to do differently when treating E. coli.
