5:33 am
area all around in several counties. we'll get to those numbers in a minute but the number of people reporting illnesses has been rising as more people hear about the recall, more are coming to report the symptoms to local health departments. so here are those numbers. here in san francisco county, 25 people have record getting sick. alameda county, 16. contra costa county, 22. san mateo county 8 people, and santa clara county, check that out, 38 people including three people that were so sick they had to go to the hospital. common symptoms of the salmonella poisoning are diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever. it comes on within 8 to 72 hours after eating the bad eggs. >> i made breakfast for dinner and i woke up in the middle of the night horrible stomach pains. >> most healthy adults if we got this we are going to get sick and well without
5:34 am
treatment. but those people elderly, infants and people with immune diseases need to be careful. >> reporter: it's been challenging for health officials to track because they can't fingerprint this form of salmonella as precisely as they can other kinds of food contamination. the fda, the cdc, both working together with local health departments to figure this all out. now, the salmonella has been found both inside the eggs and on the shells. so health departments say just throw them out, don't try to cook them, don't take your chances on this. it's not worth it when you look at the price of a dozen eggs. we have some numbers for you on where to look on your carton to see if you have one of these recalled cartons. >> anne, thank you. that's on our website, cbs5.com. so how does salmonella contaminate eggs? one sway from the outside. that's when the egg shells come in contact with fecal matter but this outbreak is believed to have come from inside the shell. salmonella can infect the
5:35 am
ovaries of healthy looking hens and then contaminate the eggs before the shells are formed. there is no way to tell by looking whether an egg is infected so if you're concerned, check their eggs, check your eggs against those on the recall list. we do have that on our website, cbs5.com. the brands and lot numbers that you need to look for on the cartons, it's all at cbs5.com. if you can't did there, the usda also last it on their website. time now 5:35. there is a man in jail this morning for monday's stabbing aboard a san francisco muni bus in the sunset district. 18-year-old kyle clark from san francisco was arrested yesterday evening. the stabbing victim is a 35- year-old man who tried to intervene when he saw the suspect slapping a woman this is back of the bus. that victim is recovering from multiple stab wounds. after the stabbing, the us is suspects and the woman got off the bus -- the suspect and the woman got off the bus together.

5:39 am
as well as demand issues. >> meanwhile, the city says it has to move forward with the repainting or risk losing the money. an odor is plaguing some offices at mineta international airport in san jose. it's a sewer-like stench. it's not affecting any passenger areas but it is irritating airline employees in offices behind the ticket counter in the 20-year-old terminal "a." the smell has been around, off and on, for about five-month. but so far no one has figured out the source or a permanent solution. the "mercury news" says some airline officials are so frustrated that they are threatening to withhold monthly rent payments. some commuters may soon start noticing things looking a little spiffier on bart trains. bart is spending some of its budget surplus to actually clean the trains. it's also putting new seat cushions in 50 bart cars of the 660 or so that are in the
5:40 am
system. and some new floors are being installed, as well. bart riders have given the system lower and lower marks because of dirty trains. >> i smell vomit and some other substances that i just don't even want to venture as to guess. >> so we are trying to do our best to take some of those extra dollars and put them back into the customers' -- improve the customers' ride. >> the cleaned up cars should all be back in service by november. american combat troops are out of iraq today. >> we're going home! we won! it's over! >> members of the fourth striker brigade second infantry division are the final combat troops to leave iraq. that group includes at least one bay area soldier, lieutenant steven dewitt of san jose. some 50,000 u.s. troops will still stay another year in noncombat roles including
5:41 am
training and support. special forces will also continue to help iraqis hunt for terrorists. the u.s. will increase its flood relief aid to pakistan to $150 million. that's the word from senator john kerry who is visiting the country to get a firsthand look at the devastation. flooding in pakistan has affected 20 million people and one-fifth of the country geographically. the crisis is also putting more strain on pakistan's civilian government which is already struggling in its battle against violence from al qaeda and the taliban. coastal massachusetts is gearing up for a visit from first vacationers. president obama and family are heading to martha's vineyard today for a -- you're kidding me -- a 10-day summer vacation? mr. obama is only the third sitting president to vacation on martha's vineyard following bill clinton and ulysses s.
