MILWAUKEE — Wisconsin currently has about 42 cases of salmonella linked to recalled eggs from Milo’s Poultry Farm LLC. — the highest number of any of the affected states.

There were nine states affected by the outbreak, including Michigan, Illinois, California, Colorado, Iowa, Minnesota, Utah, Virginia and, of course, America’s Dairyland.

So far, 24 people have been hospitalized but no one has died, according to the Center of Disease Control.

Milo’s Poultry Farm in Bonduel Wisconsin supplied contaminated eggs to restaurants and stores in Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan. The eggs are labeled with Milo’s Poultry Farm or Tony’s Fresh Market and all the egg types and expiration dates are included in the recall.

The US Food and Drug Administration took samples from Milo’s Poultry and found salmonella in the packing facility and the hen egg laying house.

Recalled eggs should be thrown away and not eaten. If anyone touches the eggs, it is important for them to wash their hands with hot, soapy water, according to the CDC.

Look out for the symptoms of salmonella:

• Diarrhea
• Fever
• Stomach cramps (these can begin within hours or days of ingesting the bacteria)

Children who are five or younger and adults 65 and older or those with weakened immune systems could experience the symptoms more severely.
The majority of people with a salmonella infection recover in four to seven days without medical treatment, but if the symptoms are severe enough, hospitalization may be needed. It is important to drink plenty of fluids while the symptoms last.

Salmonella can be treated with antibiotics, but this outbreak could be hard to treat with the typical versions of the drugs. Lab testing showed this variation of salmonella is resistant to nalidixic acid and ciprofloxacin — the two more commonly recommended treatments.

It is important to use antibiotics only when needed and as they are prescribed to help prevent resistance to the drugs.

The infection causes about 1.35 million illnesses, about 26,500 hospitalizations and about 420 deaths in the US each year, according to the CDC.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Chez Mellusi’s grandfather died on Friday, but he didn’t tell Wisconsin coach Luke Fickell until the conclusion of Saturday’s game.

By that point, Mellusi had delivered a performance that would have made his grandfather proud.

Mellusi rushed for two touchdowns, Tyler Van Dyke threw for another and Wisconsin beat South Dakota 27-13. Mellusi told a few people earlier this week – but not many – about his grandfather’s situation.

“I didn’t want any sympathy,” Mellusi said. “I need to do a better job letting my guys know what I’m going through. That’s on me.”

Van Dyke completed 17 of 27 passes for 214 yards and a touchdown for the Badgers (2-0). Mellusi had 16 carries for 60 yards and Cade Yacamelli rushed for a team-high 73 yards on eight attempts.

Mellusi said that he was close to Cesare Mellusi and took the situation hard. Mellusi’s father Mario Mellusi didn’t attend Saturday’s game.

“It’s life,” Chez Mellusi said. “I know what he would’ve wanted for me is to play the best version of myself. And I have to be better. Today, I did all right. I left some things on the field, for sure.”

Fickell said that this season, in particular, Mellusi’s impact has grown within the program.

“It’s the best I’ve seen him — as a leader, as a guy that can provide some energy and provide some spark,” Fickell said. “It’s a great reminder to us, especially us that understand this landscape of college football is changing, that even the older players can truly grow.”

Cade Yacamelli rushed for a team-high 73 yards on eight attempts.

Wisconsin raced to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter on a Mellusi 9-yard touchdown and a 50-yard scoring strike from Van Dyke to CJ Williams.

South Dakota (1-1) cut the lead to 17-13 in the third quarter but couldn’t get any closer.

Nathanial Vakos’ 50-yard field goal made it 20-13 late in the third period. Mellusi’s 1-yard touchdown run with 7:35 remaining put the game out of reach at 27-13.

Vakos also had a 24-yard field goal in the second period.

South Dakota’s Charles Pierre Jr. rushed for 83 yards on 12 carries and Aidan Bowman completed 12 of 23 passes for 114 yards. Keyondray James-Logan scored South Dakota’s lone touchdown with a 35-yard run early in the third quarter.

South Dakota creeped into contention in the third after a muffed punt by Wisconsin’s Vinny Anthony. But the Coyotes failed to get a touchdown and settled for Leyland’s 32-yard field goal to cut Wisconsin’s lead to 17-13.

South Dakota coach Bob Nielsen said that the Coyotes couldn’t keep up with the Badgers in the fourth quarter.

“We left a lot of points on the board,” Nielsen said. “And against a team like (Wisconsin), you can’t leave points on the board. They wore us, they leaned on us a little bit. We had one drive with the three penalties, and they did a good job of scoring late in the game to make it a two-score game.”

The takeaway

Wisconsin: The Badgers had four gains of at least 22 yards in the first half, an encouraging sign after they had no plays longer than 17 yards in their season-opening 28-14 victory over Western Michigan. The biggest plays were Williams’ 50-yard touchdown and a 32-yard catch by Anthony.

South Dakota: The Coyotes lost the game but made some big plays on defense and special teams. Nyle Dickel recovered a Wisconsin muffed punt in the third quarter. Mi’Quise Grace and Mosai Newsom got one sack each against Van Dyke.
