ONTARIO: 16 suspected E. coli cases at university - (Guelph Mercury)
August 5, 2008 – 8:48 pmThere have been 16 suspected and four confirmed cases of E. coli contamination from the University of Guelph’s food services, said to Cam Clark, program manager for the Wellington-Duffrin-Guelph Public Health Unit. The victims are believed to have contracted the bacteria between July 21 and 25, with symptoms showing up as much as five days later. Symptoms include diarrhea, cramps and stomach ache.
“It looks like a food handler went home sick but contaminated some food before they did,” Clark said.
The health unit will confirm their findings today.
