Department has confirmed seven cases of food-borne illness in people who
recently ate at the Applebee’s in Camillus. County Health Commissioner
Dr. Cynthia Morrow says all seven people had contracted Shigellosis. The
Shigella bacteria, Morrow says, is associated with consuming water or food
contaminated with fecal matter. Those who are confirmed ill
ate at the restaurant on either Saturday, March 7th or Sunday, March 8th, but
the overall window that the Health Department is looking at is between
Sunday, March 1st and Friday, March 20th. Up to 9,000 people may have
been exposed to the bacteria. The health department waited until
Tuesday to announce the illnesses because it had sent stool samples to the
lab, and had just gotten the results back. |
