Abstract
On December 21, 1998, the Fresno County Health Department in California was notified of 8 persons who developed nausea, vomiting, and dizziness within 2 hours of eating at a local Thai restaurant. Although several persons were treated at emergency departments, no one was hospitalized, and ill persons recovered in less than 1 day. The Fresno County Health Department inspected the restaurant and obtained several food samples for laboratory studies. Low levels of Bacillus cereus were found in one sample of cooked duck. A stool sample collected from one patient was negative for Campylobacter, Shigella, and Salmonella.Keywords
