FLORIDA: Food poisoning to blame for sorority illness - (WCTV.tv)
August 22, 2008 – 10:56 pmLab results are back and tests show food poisoning is to blame for a mass illness at a Sorority house on Florida State’s campus.
Last week 55 members of the Phi Mu sorority became very ill with symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea. Tests were sent off last week and the results show the girls got a hold of the noro virus. Officials say there is no way to distinguish which food the virus came from.
