Scimex 

Increasing temperatures caused by climate change are expected to bump up New Zealanders’ likelihood of getting sick with salmonella, according to new findings from Kiwi scientists. Using current climate projections for Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington, the researchers calculated inhabitants’ future risk of getting salmonella. They found that Aucklanders will be the most likely to get sick followed by Cantabrians, whereas Wellingtonians won’t see much of a difference.
