Is this heart talk or small talk?

Hi everyone -

I was just reading the Web news this afternoon and it said that a fourth person has died from the Hepatitis A outbreak from February 2003 (near Pittsburgh), a Mr. Rossi. The news said that he was recovering from a recent heart valve replacement when he became ill last year after eating at that Mexican Restaurant (that might have had the contaminated green onions) and that he was in and out of the hospital ever since. Very disturbing!

Anyone know anything else about it?

Haven't heard anything about it, but it is very sad.

I haven't used green onions since all of that happened, and try to use only USA veggies and fruits. Call me overcautious, but why buy trouble when there's an alternative.

Chi-Chi's...


I think it was Chi-Chi's anways...

Somehow one of their distributors (I think) delivered a bunch of "tainted" food to certain restaurants around the US and it made a LOT of people sick.

I think it was localized to one area but I can't recall for sure.

It was a popular mexican restaurant chain but it wasn't every franchise.
