Bravo Cucina Italiana (Bravo Italian Kitchen) and Norovirus Poisoning
A May 2006 food poisoning outbreak in Lansing, Michigan, has been linked to an area restaurant, Bravo Cucina Italiana (Bravo Italian Kitchen). To date, about 360 people have reported becoming sick after eating at the restaurant, which is located at 2970 Town Center Boulevard—Eastwood Town Center. According to the Ingham County Health Department, people are still calling in to report being sickened. Health officials have confirmed the pathogen behind the outbreak, norovirus.
The symptoms of Norovirus illness usually include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and some stomach cramping. Sometimes people additionally have a low-grade fever, chills, headache, muscle aches, and a general sense of tiredness. The illness often begins suddenly, and the infected person may feel very sick. The illness is usually brief, with symptoms lasting only about 1 or 2 days. In general, children experience more vomiting than adults.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that about 20,000,000 people are stricken with Norwalk-like viruses (Norovirus) each year. The number of confirmed victims of reported outbreaks is much smaller. This is due to victims thinking they have the "flu" and not seeking medical attention.
