SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — Health officials say 95 cases of a contagious bacterial infection that causes diarrhea have been reported in northwest Iowa’s Woodbury County. The Siouxland District Health Department’s deputy director Tyler Brock tells the Sioux City Journal that the majority of those sick are children, but a number of adults have contracted shigellosis, too.

Most people who are infected with Shigella have frequent watery stools that could be bloody, as well as fever and stomach cramps, starting a day or two after exposure to the bacteria. Symptoms usually last several days. Woodbury County recorded a single case of shigellosis last year.

But on Friday, 95 cases had been reported. About 20 of those had been diagnosed in early November.

Two teens were injured Saturday afternoon during a crash off Interstate 80 in Pottawattamie County. The Iowa State Patrol says a 2005 Chevy Malibu entered the median off of I-80 westbound at the Neola exit at around 1:10-p.m.  The vehicle slid across the westbound lanes, entered a ditch and struck a tree. The names of the 16-year old driver and a 15-year old passenger in the car, were not released. The teens were transported by Neola Rescue to Mercy Hospital. The Patrol says the passenger was wearing their seat belt, but the driver was not.
