The CDC is investigating backyard chicken farms as the potential source of a multi-state salmonella outbreak that has resulted in over 200 cases and one death.

The agency unveiled a notice Thursday, warning people who have backyard farms to regular use hand sanitizer to protect themselves from the virus.

According to most recent figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 219 cases have been detected across 38 states, resulting in 27 hospitalizations and one death.

Many chicken can carry germs that lead to infection with salmonella, which can cause intense sickness and even death in humans.

The infection causes around 400 deaths in the U.S. every year, but usually due to people undercooking infected chicken at home and getting infected.
