her standing behind the bar as she was serving alcohol, cleaning her teeth with a toothpick I didn’t ever see her wash her hands or sanitize her hands. I only ate about a quarter of the quesadilla cause something just told me things weren’t right I came home and felt like I had a fever and my stomach was upset and so I went to bed. I slept all day yesterday and today until 1 o’clock. Today at 1 o’clock when I got up, I was incontinent of stool in my bed on the floor in the bathroom in the shower.
