are the hardest hit. reporter: santa clara is the hardest hit, 38 cases sorry of so far. the health department is still taking reports and testing specimens as well as answering questions from concerned consumers. there are nervous patrons all over the bay area in restaurants and restaurateurs trying to reassure them that their eggs are safe. >> a lot of customers that walk in ask. >> reporter: this restaurant manager heard about the expanded recall now involving 380 million eggs yesterday. >> i thought, oh, my gosh. what should we do here? >> reporter: she immediately checked her refrigerator and went online. >> what i found was eggs are classified by their plant numbers. and i went ahead and checked every, single case that we had and were outside of that category. so we're good. >> reporter: but a lot of the tainted eggs did make their way into local restaurants and grocery stores. >> if people have those eggs

that are listed on the lot it's not worth trying to cook them enough to get rid of the salmonella, better throw them out. they can replace an egg. >> reporter: but a lot of the eggs got into the food chain before people knew about the outbreak. california has reported 266 illnesses since june. 25 in san francisco. 16 in san mateo county 8. in santa clara county at least 38 people got sick. >> it causes diarrhea, cramping, fever. it's not a good thing to have. >> reporter: the best advice, check your cartons and throw away the tainted eggs. >> i don't worry about it. i hope it doesn't happen to me. if it does, you know, i'll deal with it. >> reporter: the doctors say don't try to cook them because while that could work, if salmonella is on the inside of

the egg, at this point health official aren't sure if it could be on the shell, as well. so it could contaminate your whole kitchen. just get rid it. eggs aren't that expensive. >> for a couple bucks, better safe. >> reporter: exactly. >> anne makovec, thank you. the health concerns about food sources and people trying to save money in the recession are combining to produce a mini boom in homegrown eggs. kendis gibson even found evidence of it in the urban wilds of new york city. reporter: in the middle of this concrete jungle, chickens are clucking on urban farms. this new york city mom and designer is also a farmer. >> come on, girls! >> reporter: karen made space for four hens and a coop in brooklyn last year. >> what can i get here part of nature? the chickens were the quickest and best thing that i could think of and they were legal. so why not? >> reporter: for greg and

emphysema, or both, advair helps significantly improve lung function. while nothing can reverse copd, advair is different from most other copd medications because it contains both an anti-inflammatory and a long-acting bronchodilator, working together to help you breathe better. advair won't replace fast-acting inhalers for sudden symptoms and should not be used more than twice a day. people with copd taking advair may have a higher chance of pneumonia. advair may increase your risk of osteoporosis and some eye problems. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking advair. i had fun today, grandpa. you and me both. if copd is still making it hard to breathe, ask your doctor if including advair will help improve your lung function for better breathing. get your first full prescription free and save on refills.
