Cool site - lists all 'outbreaks' - the site state: " To be included in outbreakdatabase.com, the outbreak must have supporting documentation from public health agencies, journal articles, media reports, etc. Names of stores, brands, restaurants, or other sources are listed if they have been publicly identified previously." https://www.outbreakdatabase.com/ I skim read couple of articles - Interesting point is that in at least some cases where there is an identified proven issue with a location for a given date/food item- not every person in the group will get food poisoning. For example in this case only 75% of the boys (who had the same dish: tacos) got ill: https://news.sd.gov/newsitem.aspx?id=12503

Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, a Listeria monocytogenes infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
In case you are experiencing Listeria monocytogenes symptoms, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.

Tonight Chipotle Stopped at the chipotle after the gym around 1:30PM and got a chicken burrito with white rice, black beans, queso, hot and corn salsa, sour cream, and lettuce. While eating the burrito o thought the salsa tasted a little off than it normally does as... See More I eat chipotle semi frequently. The only other food I had after that was some herrs salt and vinegar chips and Gatorade zero. I went to go to bed around 10:30-11PM and when I got in bed I noticed my skins particularly my arms and legs were super sensitive to even the sheets rubbing up against me, then I noticed I started getting extremely cold and shivering. At about 1 I thought it was starting to calm down when all of a sudden I got a giant knot in my stomach and had to run to the bathroom while now profusely pouring sweat. I made it to the bath just in time to have diarrhea while simultaneously throwing up. Immediately after throwing up and going to the bathroom the fever (I assume) seemed to break and I stopped sweating and the knot in my stomach has relaxed. I currently am back in bed still not feeling great but hopefully past the worst of it | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Fever, Other, Sweating, Nausea, Vomiting See Less
