People contracting gastroenteritis by consuming water contaminated with E-coli are at a higher risk of suffering from these ailments in the long run.

E. coli O157:H7 infections account for almost 120,000 gastro-enteric illnesses every year in the US, leading to approximately 2,000 hospitalizations and 60 deaths.
