Listeria Death Toll Rises

The death toll from Listeria contaminated cantaloupe from a Colorado farm is now at 18 and at least 100 people across the country have been sickened.  Five of the deaths have been reported in Colorado, including one death in Fruita.  The CDC says more cases are likely, since the incubation period for listeria can be up to two months.
