Just read in the Marin IJ about the closure of Tomales Bay due to nonovirus contamination. I don’t know if the following information serves any purpose at this time, but I just wanted to inform you that my parents and I all ushered in the new year vomiting like crazy after consuming 40 oysters purchased at Hoggs Bay Oyster Farm on Dec 29. Three very miserable days indeed, especially for my 87 year old dad... Read that 44 people reported ill... might want to add our three cases (in Marin), plus another woman we know who ate Hogg Island oysters at the same time, and her son, who did not ingest them directly but who was violently ill as well, same time period.

I skipped lunch since I was running errands with a friend and I got Villa for dinner in the mall food court. After my friend and I returned to the hotel, I vomited every 3 to 5 minutes for several hours until I was unable to care for myself. I kept going in and out of consciousness after I had been vomiting for a few hours. My friend attempted to care for me, but I could not get up out of bed, and was laying in my own vomit, urine, and diarrhea. Since I could not maintain consciousness, my friend ran down to the front desk, and got a wheelchair with the assistance of the hotel staff. He wheeled me into the car, and took me into the emergency room. In the waiting area of the emergency room, I still could not maintain consciousness, and the nurses instructed my friend to hold up my head so I would not aspirate on my vomit. It took several hours in the ER and two bags of saline (along with meds) to rehydrate and stabilize me. Now over two days later, I can only eat soup and easy to digest foods due to my severe stomach pain from many hours of vomiting. With how severe my symptoms were, I am terrified of the consequences of an elderly person or child being poisoned at Villa as severely as I was. As a healthy young person, I even feared for my life as this was by far the worst pain I have ever experienced. Read More

Saturday January 19th - order made at approximately 20:00, food consumed at approximately 21:00. Order: Vegetarian spring rolls Cantonese mixed veg chow mein** Mushroom fried rice Szeuchuan green beans Ginger Beef Kung Pao Cashew Chicken The individuals who consumed the Cantonese Mixed Veg Chow Mein were the ones that were ill. Woke up at 3:30 with severe cramping and nausea. Seriously ill with fever, vomiting and diarrhea every 20 minutes until 11:30. Called Connie’s Cookhouse when they opened today (Sunday) to let them know that we were ill all night with food poisoning and they said they were too busy, call back later and hung up the phone. Just wanted to let them know in case something is contaminated so that others don’t get sick! Read More

My wife, sister-in-law (from out of town) and I ate dinner this past Thursday at Maude's. The only dish we all shared were the oysters. Friday/Saturday all 3 of us were vomiting, with diarrhea and severe nausea. Worst post-dining experience ever. We emailed the restaurant. Read More

My 30-year-old daughter, three-year-old granddaughter and myself went there on Wednesday afternoon January 2. We called in the morning and asked for an appointment and were told we did not need an appointment you just drive out. We spent the afternoon there eating oysters. Symptoms began 24 hours later violent vomiting and diarrhea that persisted every two hours for 24 hours. Our daughter and granddaughter were less ill but almost had to cancel their airplane flights home. It destroyed our holiday weekend. We are very disappointed in the fact that they knew about this and chose to allow us to get sick on January 2 the day they recalled oysters and shellfish. Really bad business decision impacting the health of people In the community Who had previously been loyal. We were going to have them at our daughter’s wedding in September in Sonoma but will not do that. We are mostly disappointed in their lack of speed to inform the public and expose us to this serious health risk. Read More
