Potential Hepatitis A exposure linked to 2 Taco Bell location in Snohomish County, WA

11 months ago source www.snohd.org

Outbreak

Everett, Washington, United States

The Snohomish County Health Department has identified a case of hepatitis A that occurred in a food worker who worked at two Taco Bell locations: 2727 Broadway in Everett and 303 91st Ave NE in Lake Stevens. They are warning about possible exposure to hepatitis A to anyone who ate food from the Everett location on May 22 or 23 or from the Lake Stevens location on May 23.

The confirmed case appears to have been infected during international travel. The Snohomish County Health Department is working with the business to identify other workers who were potentially exposed and connect them with prevention information as well as resources for vaccination and post-exposure prophylaxis, as needed.

The Health Department advises anyone who ate food from the Everett location on May 22 or 23 or from the Lake Stevens location on May 23, to check if they are vaccinated against or immune to hepatitis A. People who are vaccinated or immune do not need to take any further action as they would be considered protected against this exposure. Individuals who are not vaccinated, immune, or are unsure of their status should contact their healthcare provider or contact the Snohomish County Health Department for guidance and potential post-exposure prophylaxis to prevent illness. Post-exposure prophylaxis involves receiving the hep A vaccine or immune globulin (IG), which can provide immediate and lasting protection when given within two weeks of exposure to the hepatitis A virus.

If you are experiencing Hepatitis A symptoms like fever, jaundice, nausea, clay-colored stool, dark urine, malaise, abdominal discomfort, or vomiting, it is important to report it. It can help to detect and resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance.

I bought some grass fed patties, beef patties from Aldi's located in Fredericksburg, VA. And so the first patties I ate, I basically got sick within an hour after eating them and I actually was bleeding from my rear end. And so I didn't know what it … See More
was. So I just assumed, you know, I didn't know it was the beef patties until I just opened a second pack about an hour and a half ago. And I am nauseous again and I feel like I want to throw up. So I'm almost positive there's a beef patties. They're not. They're the ones that are already formed in the beef patties. I do have two left. I tried to call all these, but you can't call their phone and because it said a recording, that's how we save money. We don't have phones in the store, but I am going to go in there tomorrow and tell the manager. But Oh yeah, I just realized it's got to be that because that's the only thing I eat and I feel really nauseous right now. And I already feel like I'm going to have diarrhea right now. My stomach is rumbling. Thank you.  | Symptoms: Nausea, Bloody Stool
