CHICAGO: 2007 in retrospect - (Daily Herald)
December 28, 2007 – 6:54 pmA flooded Fox River, public health scares and transportation issues were three of the biggest issues Kane County leaders dealt with in 2007.
The county’s public health department responded to outbreaks of hepatitis A and salmonella this year. More than 2,900 people who ate at Houlihan’s in Geneva in January, when the hepatitis outbreak was reported, received immunoglobulin shots to protect against the disease. Although no additional contaminations were reported, a class-action lawsuit later was filed against the restaurant. The incident was traced to contaminated ice served by an infected server.
In March, health department officials traced a salmonella outbreak to an unlicensed Mexican-style cheese sold at local Hispanic grocery stores. Thirty people reported being infected; health department officials believe many more were affected, however, because anecdotal evidence suggests most salmonella victims don’t seek treatment.
