A Vermont family
whose young son was hospitalized with salmonella poisoning after eating peanut
butter crackers has filed suit against a Georgia company to which tainted
peanuts were traced.
If you take a walk in the Vermont
woods this spring, there’s a pretty good chance that you could take some ticks
home with you. State
officials say the population of the tiny creatures has soared this year.
But,
as VPR’s Ross Sneyd reports, the ticks that carry Lyme disease have not been a
big problem so far.
