Better Homes and Gardens® Aromatherapy Spray Recall Victims Suffering from Melioidosis
Melioidosis — otherwise known as Whitmore’s disease — is an infection caused by a bacterium called Burkholderia pseudomallei.
This disease is spread to humans and animals after direct contact with contaminated soil or liquids.
Melioidosis can be confused with other diseases such as tuberculosis or modern types of pneumonia — and its symptoms can display in local, pulmonary, bloodstream, or disseminated sources.
Those with melioidosis exhibit symptoms that may include:
- Headache
- Cough
- High fever
- Chest pain
- Abdominal discomfort
- Joint pain
- Respiratory distress
- Central nervous system/brain infection
While the typical time between exposure to the emergence of symptoms is two to four weeks, it can range from 24 hours to many years.
Those consumers who have contacted the recalled aromatherapy sprays and are suffering a melioidosis infection should seek immediate medical treatment — typically intravenous and/or oral antimicrobial therapies.
