E Coli outbreak in Calgary - BulletRiddled - 09-19-2004

Considering how many Calgarians are on this board, I thought this might be of some interest:

Calgary Hipbasers may have heard about the recent outbreak of E Coli near Westbrook Mall. I was one of the 12 to catch it last week, and I'm finally on the mend after nearly being hospitalized from the infection. The other people to get sick were my brother (who I was treating to dinner) and several members of a local highschool football team.

Anyway, I can't name the place while it's still under investigation, but it's in Westbrook Mall, and is still open and serving food. Anyone in the Calgary area may want to avoid the Westbrook Mall food court for the next few weeks. It should be shut down pretty soon, from what I've heard.

I never had E Coli, or known anybody, and my knowledge on it is limited but, as I recall, any type of food-poisoning is not pretty!

Good of ya to spread the info, dude. I hope yer feeling better soon. :thumb:

Doesn't Calgary also have that supervirus making the rounds in the hospital? I guess God is casting his vote against Ralph Klein... :rambo:
