MT. OLIVET, Ky.- For the second time in a month, doctors in Kentucky are treating kids who have gotten sick from an E. Coli outbreak.

The Robertson County brothers, aged 1 and 2, were rushed to the hospital this week when a pediatrician noticed signs of the bacterial infection. The infections come less than a month after several children in Lincoln County were sickened in an E. colic outbreak.

Doctors say children don't have to eat something bad to get it. E. Coli can also be transferred human to human.

E. Coli can be deadly in small children.
