Posted: May 18th, 2012 - 7:40am by Doug Powell People barfing because of crappy food safety don"t care ifyou"ve been doing things one way and never made anyone sickfor millennia, dating back to your spaceship DNA founders visitingearth. Instead, it"s, I"m barfing now because you can"tbe bothered to learn something new. Oh, and public health types: there"s a difference between E.coli and norovirus. Maybe it"s both. Probably never happened before; figure it out.
There"s a mess of an outbreak going on in Thunder Bay,Ontario (that's in Canada, eh?) The district health unit is looking into the cause of an illnessthat struck at least 126 people who visited This Old Barn lastweekend . Christopher Beveridge, manager of environmental health for thedistrict health unit, said Thursday that norovirus was found in astool sample from a patient admitted to hospital. "We're not ruling out water just yet, because norovirus cansurvive in a water environment," Beveridge said. "But nowwe're looking at more of the food handling, as well. Where earlierin the week with the contaminated water sample we were reallylooking at the water system." Earlier health unit tests found E.
coli in the water. Beveridge said the department wasn't ruling out the possibilitythat both E. coli and norovirus could have been involved. Michael Ellchook, the owner of This Old Barn, has apologized to allthose who got sick.
He said he has operated the restaurant for 17years, and has never before had a problem like this. "They found E. coli levels are a little bit high, so I'mfiguring it's got to do with the water. We had a storm on theweekend. And being a well — we have a well system — I'mthinking that's where most of it came from," Ellchook saidearlier in the day.
A well? Is the water ever tested? Is that data available? Would youmake it publicly available? Beveridge said 256 people ate or drank at the restaurant betweenMay 11 and May 13. The health unit has contacted 208 of thesepeople and is trying to reach the remainder to get information toassist in the investigation. The health unit became aware of the situation after being contactedby emergency-room staff the Thunder Bay Regional Health SciencesCentre, where 12 people were admitted with E. coli infectionsymptoms.
