A Utah couple says their 5-month-old son is the state’s only known person infected with salmonella in a nationwide outbreak tied to Kellogg’s Honey Smacks cereal–and they are struggling to comprehend how it happened.
Andy Lyons and his parents visited relatives that had the cereal at their house.
Nobody else, though, has experienced symptoms since, and they don’t get how their child became sick.
They’re not sure how he got it since he doesn’t even eat solid food yet.
But doctors say his salmonella is linked to the honey smacks outbreak.
Three months later, Andy remains infected.
“I don’t know if somebody touched the cereal and then they touched a pacifier,” mother Ashley Lyons said.
“We actually have some different appointments this week to try to check on different parts of his tummy,” father Mark Lyons added.
The Centers for Disease control and prevention says 100 people in 33 states got sick from the outbreak.
It is urging the public to avoid Honey Smacks cereal.
