"Stool samples of sickened customers have so far ruled out bacteria as
the cause. That means the cause is likely viral and could be spreading
through air particles, Morrow said.

Restaurant patrons from throughout central New York and as far away as
Massachusetts, New Jersey, Vermont and California have contacted the
health department with reports of symptoms. Some were sickened after
eating at the restaurant, while others became ill after being exposed
to those who'd been to the restaurant, health officials said.

The most common symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal
cramps and chills lasting 12-48 hours."

Sounds like it may not be food poisoning at all. Somebody working with
the 2 day flu perhaps.
