The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has warned that more than 60 people in the Northeast have gotten sick with Salmonella after eating papayas.

The CDC advised people living in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island not eat any papayas from Mexico.

“Throw the papayas away, even if some of them were eaten and no one has gotten sick,” officials said.

A total of 62 people have been infected in states across the Northeast, including 24 in New York.

Twenty-three people have been hospitalized and no deaths have been attributed to the Salmonella.

The first case was reported on January 14, with the most recent on June 8.
