Updated 12/25

In the image above, Mr.N ate at the local salad bar
about 6 pm last evening. He is awakened about 2 am
with severe abdominal cramps and a desperate feeling
to go to the bathroom.

Escherichia Coli is a strain of bacteria that lives in the bowel.
When found in the food, it causes gastrointestinal symptoms.

Poor hygiene may cause this to happen.
