Someone
I know says he was
at both events over the weekend, and has been sick with a
horrible stomach bug since Sunday night. The
most likely causes are food poisoning, norovirus, or salmonella.
If anyone else has come down with diarrhea, vomiting, or bad stomach
cramps, please post to this list. It's important to know a) what
you ate & drank at the events, and b) whether you used the SR
bathroom during or since the events.
If this turns out to look like norovirus going around, it will be
necessary (as in, "not optional") to nuke the bathrooms ASAP with
bleach (do not mix bleach with ammonia) on all surfaces including
toilet seats, bowls, and flush handles, TP dispensers, sink and
faucets and counters, wall switches and door knobs including areas
around door knobs. Norovirus is extremely contagious and
persistent, transmissible from surface contact, and difficult to
stop from spreading except by ferociously sanitizing all relevant
surfaces.
If it's food poisoning or salmonella, that will become apparent from
looking at commonalities in what people were eating. Food poisoning
and salmonella are not directly contagious, but would call for
greater care about food sources & preparation methods to prevent
another occurrence.
