You Know You Were Sick When…
...the Health Department calls you at home.
Fortunately it sounds like I wasn’t part of any sort of outbreak of food poisoning. And since the Health Department knows about me, now my small bout of discomfort will probably show up in national health statistics. Sweet.

Peter says A lot of the required January 27, 2009 at 10:17am
A lot of the required reporting is the result of a crytoporidium outbreak in Milwaukee several years ago. Thousands of people were seriously ill, but no one noticed it was epidemic until a pharmacist realized that there were no anti-diarrhea medicines left in the whole city.
