Listeria outbreak kills four, but is cantaloupe to blame? (CBS/AP) An outbreak of Listeria illness has prompted local officials to send a strong message:

If you live in Colorado, and have a weakened immune system, stay away from cantaloupe.Health officials from Colorado's Rocky Ford region issued the warning after reports that Listeria infection (listeriosis) killed four people in Colorado and New Mexico.Colorado Agriculture Commissioner John Salazar says the outbreak might not even be caused by cantaloupe, but a contaminated truck or other source. Officials say they're expecting additional test results this week that might help identify the specific source of the outbreak. Rocky Ford is a major supplier of cantaloupe in the region and farmers in southeast Colorado depend heavily on the crop.Just who in the area should avoid cantaloupe? What symptoms should people look out for? How is listeriosis treated?

As for me,this report of government reminds people that don’t eat cantaloupe to keep away the death and keep health.On the contrary,this report demages the bussinessmen’s profit .After the political reports this news,the majority of people stop to buy and eate the cantaloupe.The reason is that they have a chance to gain Listeria if they eat the cantaloupe. Draw a conclusion,although the government’s action demage the bussinessmen’profit,they protect the people’health.In my opinion,this show the government belongs to the people.
