FRANCONIA, N.H. (AP) - Testing on food consumed during a
Passover observance in Franconia, N.H., indicates that salmonella may the
reason about 75 people fell ill.
The New Hampshire Union Leader reports about 150 people had
come to a local hotel to celebrate. They brought and prepared their own
food at the gathering, which started last Tuesday and is to run until
Friday.
The first reports of illness came late Friday. Throughout
the weekend, health-care workers were at the hotel treating people
stricken with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. At least one person was
admitted to a hospital. By Monday, most people were starting to feel
better.
Dr. Jose Montero, director of the state's Division of Public
Health Services, says an early result of food testing indicates
salmonella, but if the contaminated food was all consumed, the source may
not be determined.
