Woodmere, Ohio, Salmonella Food Poisoning Linked to Corky & Lenny's
No. 6, "The Philadelphia" chopped liver sandwich, salad, vegetables and matzo balls. Also testing positive for salmonella was the oil used by prep cooks to roll raw matzo balls and for hand dipping so that the matzo balls would not stick to their fingers during preparation. That same oil also was used to moisten the cooked chopped liver before serving.
The story says that the health board identified 48 confirmed cases, 64 probable cases and one suspected case between Jan. 21 and Feb. 18. A February 2006 food poisoning outbreak in Lansing, Michigan, has been linked to an area restaurant, Corky & Lenny's. As of May 5, 2006, there were 48 confirmed cases of Salmonella poisoning and 64 probable cases. 20 people were hospitalized.
The illness that results from most types of Salmonella poisoning is characterized by diarrhea and intestinal symptoms. Diarrhea, an upset stomach and abdominal pains may result from an infection of this type. In some cases these Salmonella symptoms are accompanied by a mild fever. The symptoms of Salmonella poisoning, particularly diarrhea, usually appear six to seventy-two hours after initial contact with the bacteria. The illness is usually mild enough so that no treatment is required, and passes in two to seven days.
In rare cases, Salmonella poisoning can lead to severe dehydration. Some of these cases require hospitalization and a course of antibiotics.
