Springfield health officials traced typhoid cases to dairy and milk handlers after initial cases in the city.

The report credits public health work for saving many possible cases and costs. The Illinois Health Messenger notes the motor vehicle industry employed 4,030,000 in the US last year, implying a large workforce impact.
