There’s nothing like a bunch of chefs getting together for a cook-off and making a bunch of the guests barf.
At least 70 people are sick after a Big Sisters "Chef's Challenge" fundraiser on May 12 in Sarnia, Ontario (that’s in Canada).
Laboratory testing has confirmed at least seven cases of an intestinal infection caused by cyclospora, a single-cell parasite spread by people who consume food or water contaminated with feces.
Sorry for the Big Sisters, but poop happens.
