CARBON COUNTY, Utah — Are you feeling sick in Carbon County? The Southeast Utah Health Department says they are investigating a potential foodborne illness outbreak, and they need help.
Officials are asking anyone who has symptoms of food poisoning and has eaten outside of the home recently to report the illness so they can investigate.
Symptoms of foodborne illness can include:
- Stomach cramps
- Diarrhea
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Fever
Orion Rogers, the environmental health director for the Southeast Utah Health Department, says the investigation started on Thursday after they received a complaint from a group that reported foodborne illness-like symptoms.
Since then, investigators have confirmed 10 cases of the illnesses, which is why they want to find out if these cases are connected.
The health department isn't releasing the name of the restaurant while the investigation plays out. They add that the restaurant is being cooperative to the investigation and threw out all the food they had.
Anyone with symptoms is asked to go to seuhealth.gov/report-a-problem to report the illness.
