A Mexican restaurant in Grady Country, Oklahoma has been recently proven to be the source of a Salmonella outbreak that sickened six people over the course of two months. Salmonella is a bacterium that occurs mainly in the intestine, which causes food poisoning. Temazcal, which is the name of the Mexican restaurant, has been announced by the Department of Health on Friday, March 8, to be the origin of the Salmonella Enteriditis that caused the outbreak.
All of the six victims of the Salmonella outbreak revealed matching strains of the bacteria in their DNA testing. The restaurant closed four days before the announcements due to health inspectors confirming that the restaurants walk-in-cooler was not functioning properly. The restaurant is now working on these problems to be fixed so that they can reopen again.
