  • 126 sick from the Old Barn in Thunder Bay; nostalgia no security when barfing

    Posted: May 20th, 2012 - 12:48pm

    People barfing because of crappy food safety don’t care if you’ve been doing things one way and never made anyone sick for millennia, dating back to your spaceship DNA founders visiting earth. Instead, it’s, I’m barfing now because you can’t be bothered to learn something new.Additional Information

    Norovirus spread through reusable grocery bag

    Posted: May 11th, 2012 - 11:05am

    I was sitting on the toilet this morning, answering e-mail while trying to hurry things up and get Sorenne to school, and I responded to an e-mail from a reporter at msnbc by saying, “don’t take reusable grocery bags to the bathroom.”

    I could have said, don’t take groceries to the bathroom: I’ve seen it.

  • 14 sick with norovirus form Louisiana oysters

    Posted: May 11th, 2012 - 11:04am

    The oysters were relatively cheap and plentiful last weekend in Brisbane, so we went through two dozen. I ate most of them. Every time I visit the fishmonger, he asks if I want to sample a raw oyster to verify their quality and I say, no thanks. I prefer mine grilled.Additional Information
