Twenty other people have fallen ill to the bacteria.
Three other North Carolina counties, and one South Carolina, have
joined in the investigation, due to people from the counties being among the sick.
No specific source for the outbreak has yet been determined, but all who became sick visited between September 26 and October 7.
E. Coli is found in animal waste product, it can then be contracted by people who come into contact with it and then touch their mouth.
The fair had worked hard to ensure that the food area was on the opposite side, of the fair, from the animal pens, to avoid any issues there.
