Iowa Gets 1st Cantaloupe Sickness Report

Add Iowa to the list of states where someone's gotten sick from eating cantaloupes contaminated by listeriosis. The State Public Health Department says a woman from the northwestern part of the state got sick after eating cantaloupe purchased at a store here. KCCI reports she was pregnant when she got sick and had a miscarriage. Jensen Farms in Colorado's voluntarily recalled the cantaloupe. It can take up to 2-months to develop symptoms, so there could be more cases.
