Shigellosis

100 sickened after eating at N.Y. Applebee’s. (AP via MSNBC)

SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Health officials say more than 100 people reported getting sick after eating at an Applebee’s restaurant near Syracuse.

The county health department says there are seven confirmed cases of Shigellosis among people who ate at the Applebee’s in Camillus in early March. The bacterial infection is associated with consuming water or food contaminated with fecal matter.

I’m sure there’s a joke about Guy Fieri somewhere in there, but I just don’t have the spirit.

  1. There is a joke about Guy Fieri in there. Three employees of his at Johnny Garlic’s were found to have Shigella in 1998. Seven customers served in his restaurant tested positively for the bacteria. It happens all over the country. In their defense, Johnny Garlic’s is now one of several vendors who teach Food Safety Handler Certification classes.

  2. Diners, Drive-ins, and Dookie?

    well, atleast they are delivering on their promise of shitty food in a shitty environment.

  3. Shigella is a sickness that is native to Mexico and South America found in human dung
