CDC has identified the bacteria that causes melioidosis in a bottle of “Better Homes & Gardens Essential Oil Infused Aromatherapy Room Spray with Gemstones.” The spray was found in the home of a Georgia resident who died from melioidosis in late July. The contaminated product was sold at about 55 Walmart stores and on their website between February and October 21, 2021. CDC recommends that anyone who has this product stop using it immediately. More recommendations for people who sprayed the product in their homes is available on the CDC website. https://bit.ly/3b3cphy.
