BFP FOG VALVE HYDRANT METER

In May 1994, more than 1,000 people attended a convention in Columbus, Ohio. About two weeks after the convention was over, a small number of call started coming into the health department. All of the callers as-sumed that they had contacted food poisoning at restaurants at the convention. Giardia was ultimately blamed for the illnesses. It has an incubation period of five days to two weeks. Its symptoms can be subtle, depending

upon one's resistance. Symptoms included diarrhea, intestinal cramps, and nausea.

The health department inspected the restaurants and did not find any problems. As more calls were re-ceived, it was realized that the callers had all been at the same convention. The health department interviewed the people attending the convention. The health department mailed 1,200 surveys to those attending the con-vention will an itemized list of every food served. When the surveys were returned, a statistical analysis

showed no correlation.

The first survey did not include beverages. A second survey on beverages showed that people who had

drinks with ice at one particular cocktail party were likely to become sick.

An inspection found an ice machine. The unit had a dematerializing filter with a drain hose directly con-

nected into a floor drain.
