E. coli comes to visit
Our local Souplantation is reported as the source of an E. coli outbreak here in the O.C. This happens to be the one that we visit frequently. It turns out that we were there on one of the two dates when the virus was present.
The good news is that only one of us got sick. Bethany came home last week Monday with a mild fever and severe stomach cramps. The cramps and other symptoms stuck with her through the week. We took her to the doctor late in the week and they suggested some dietary help, but nothing else. She felt better as of last Saturday and is fine now.
It was only when the news came out earlier this week that we figured out that she must have gotten the virus. We don't have clinical confirmation, but I have no doubt. The rest of us either ate something different or just fought it off better. In any case, I am very curious now to see what they come up with as the source of the problem.
