The Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention (Maine CDC) has identified a potential Hepatitis A exposure at two Westbrook restaurants. The infectious disease, caused by the Hepatitis A virus, was found in a food service worker who was on duty during their infectious period. The worker... See More was employed at Legends Rest Taproom and Paper City BBQ, both located at 855 Main St., Westbrook.

The individual was on duty during several dates in January and February, specifically January 14, 17-21, 24-28, 31, and February 2-4. Patrons who dined in or ordered takeout from these establishments during these dates could be at risk for Hepatitis A infection. The restaurant owners are cooperating fully with the Maine CDC, and there is no ongoing risk of exposure beyond these specified dates.

The issue was discovered after the infected individual was diagnosed with Hepatitis A. The Maine CDC was promptly notified, leading to an investigation that revealed the potential exposure at the two Westbrook restaurants. The Hepatitis A virus can be prevented with a vaccine, which is particularly effective if administered within 14 days of exposure. The vaccine is a two-dose series, with the first dose providing immunity for several years in at least 94 out of 100 people. The second dose ensures long-term protection.

The Maine CDC advises potentially exposed individuals to discard any leftover food purchased from the affected restaurants during the specified dates and to get vaccinated if eligible. Symptoms of Hepatitis A include fatigue, low appetite, stomach pain, nausea, diarrhea, dark-colored urine, jaundice, fever, and joint pain. These symptoms can appear 15-50 days after exposure to the virus and can range from mild to severe.

In case you experienced Hepatitis A symptoms, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve issues and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.

It’s not the flu, it’s not Covid, the only thing we all ate in common was Lucky Charms. And my cat drank the milk.  My cat has never had diarrhea in his life. He is 16. He got suddenly so sick. There had been a dog visiting... See More so I thought maybe it was that. Told the vet and he said perhaps it was stress colitis. My cat had to be put under and groomed due to his diarrhea. I missed meetings and did an insane amount of laundry and made god awful decisions…like do I poop my pants or throw up in this hoodie, was VIOLENTLY ILL, couldn’t leave my room or bathroom or care for my daughter. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse, she started vomiting. It got up to ten times and I stopped counting. It was everywhere. More laundry. Then the diarrhea. Uncontrollable. I would remake the bed, she would get out of the shower only to lose control again. Diarrhea everywhere. She’s 9. She ended up with a fever of 103.5, completely delirious. We went to the ER at 3:30 am yesterday. I was going to call an ambulance because I didn’t know if I could carry her if I needed to. And she was worried she would p**p herself. We put Depends on her. Got tested for Covid and the flu, told them our symptoms. Test results negative. Looking back the only thing in common was Lucky Charms. My cat loves to drink the milk. My daughter and I love to eat the cereal. But I NEVER WANT TO FEEL LIKE THIS AGAIN. It has been the worst experience of my life. I had the vomiting and diarrhea at the same time, and my daughters was one and then the other, she still is having the diarrhea. I almost had a nervous breakdown yesterday. Because of the magnitude of the shituation and the lack of sleep and the water bill I’m going to get. It’s all too much. I’m grateful for friends and the ability to accept help but my god. This is insanity. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone.  It happened A few times…and my cat got sick too. 4/10/22 for me, 4/4/22 for my cat, and 4/22/22 for me again and 4/24-25/22 for my daughter, | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Fever, Vomiting, Nausea See Less

I decided to try this place out and I had their lunch special where you pick three rolls. I had the spicy yellowtail, shrimp tempura and chicken tempura. Im a regular sushi eater but I usually like to stick with the tempura ones. I’m guessing the poisoning... See More came from the yellowtail. After about an hour or so of eating the sushi I became very bloated and had a minor stomachache but then after time went by the pain progressed. I had terrible PAINFUL stomach cramps and diarrhea. It made me very gassy as well. Kept having to RUN to the toilet. The worst part was the pain in my stomach that would wake me up from my sleep, almost brought tears to my eyes. I almost felt like I could vomit from the pain alone, and from wanting this pain out of my stomach. Just when I thought the pain was gone and I released it all, a new wave of pain came flooding in. I WILL NEVER TRY THIS PLACE AGAIN THIS EXPERIENCED LITERALLY SCARRED ME | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Cramps, Gas, Bloating, Stomach Pain See Less
