An outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease linked to the North Carolina Mountain State Fair has killed one person and sickened “multiple people,” according to health officials.
Public health officials say anyone who went to the fair earlier this month and is showing symptoms of the lung disease should see a doctor.
State and local officials are investigating “multiple cases” of the disease connected to people who went to the fair in Fletcher, near Asheville, Sept. 6-15, the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services said.
One person has died from the disease since the fair ended, WLOS reports.
