Published on August 28, 2023. Last modified on November 08, 2024
The Sonoma Department of Health Services (SDHS) and California Department of Public Health (CDPH) are investigating an Aeromonas outbreak linked to Tough Mudder adventure race events at the Sonoma Raceway on August 19 and 20, 2023. Numerous race participants have experienced skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs, most frequently described as a pustular rash), along with other symptoms such as fever and headache. Healthcare providers should ask patients presenting with SSTIs about whether they participated in a Tough Mudder race at the Sonoma Raceway and should report cases to their local public health department.
