DENVER | Health officials are trying to determine the source of contamination that left dozens of people sick at a Denver rescue mission.
Shelter spokeswoman Alexxa Gagner said Monday officials are concerned some homeless people left the mission and did not seek medical attention. At least 30 people were hospitalized.
Denver Fire Department Lt. Phil Champagne says officials suspect turkey served for dinner was contaminated, but they don’t know for certain. Barbecue chicken was served for lunch. However, officials tested the air and other environmental factors at the rescue mission, and everything was clear.
About 340 people ate dinner at the Denver Rescue Mission on Sunday. The dinner was donated by a caterer. Within 45 minutes, many of the people who had eaten began vomiting and complaining of dehydration and diarrhea.
Well…..when you have 100 people farting in a enclosed hall…that will do it.
Have a turkey sandwich while you investigate…..how about 3 day old coffee?
