Mysterious Foodborne Illness Outbreak In Las Vegas, Nevada

Intro by Norman E. Hooben

Although the story does not provide detailed information, I'm suspicious that something more heinous is going on especially with the political atmosphere in the country right now.  We just came off a highly politicized vaccine mandate that literally affected most of the world.  Then when most people learned of the faux impositions the government began new warnings of potential food shortages and anything they could come up with that can remotely (I should say, ridiculously!) affect climate change.  Food processing plants all over the country were destroyed either intentionally or by some unknown causes... we never did get the whole story.  And quite conveniently to their cause up pops an avian flu or Newcastle's disease that inundated the poultry industry...egg prices are at their highest ever and meat prices are forcing people to change their diets.  

It is well known that the elites attending the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland want complete control over the world's population so I wouldn't put it past them to come up with reduction methods that wouldn't implicate them.  They encourage the vaccine mandates and who did they blame for spreading the virus; the un-vaccinated!  (Even though the vaccine caused more deaths and other medical problems.)  

Now I've been out of the business of investigating food borne illnesses for many years, but it was once part of my job description.  The epidemiological aspects of any outbreak can be tedious, but most are solved on short order.  The story below talks about 'projectile' vomiting which can be caused by any number of bacterial contaminants. Just to mention bacteria we have to talk about incubation periods; not all are treated equally.  So, anyone can go to any of the public health sites and find which bacteria most likely will cause a problem within 2 to 4 hours or in some cases 12 or more hours before the cramps and vomiting begin.  And not everyone is affected simultaneously; usually one or two will be the first to complain then others will follow depending on resistance factors, age, and so on.  By the way, bacterial contaminated food tastes good else people would not eat it...remember, the bacteria have to incubate and multiply before they became harmful. 

What is not mentioned in the story is how soon the Armageddon described vomiting began.  Was it immediately after eating?  If this is the case, I would rule out Sam and Ella (Aka salmonella) or any of their microscopic relatives.  We were told back in food inspection school that any immediate effects of ingesting food would most likely be chemical in nature.  Let's hope it was not that!

While most have shown little interest in this story, I have a connection worth mentioning.  My grandson went to this school not that many years ago...he's now in High School thanks be to God.  Prayers and get well wishes to all the sick children.

By the way, no teachers or adults ate that day.... mmm. ~ Norman E. Hooben

A gastrointestinal illness outbreak at a Las Vegas elementary school left at least 130 students "projectile vomiting", according to local reports.

Teachers at the Wayne N. Tanaka Elementary School in Nevada asked the ill students to line up outside the school as they repeatedly "projectile vomited" during the incident on Jan. 27, according to 8 News Now.

Officials with the Clark County School District (CCSD) and Southern Nevada Health District (SNHD) have not said what caused the illness but confirmed they are investigating the incident.

A spokesperson for the Southern Nevada Health District (SNHD) told 8 News Now, "During a foodborne illness outbreak, people are interviewed about what they ate before they got sick when possible food contamination is confirmed using epidemiological and laboratory information. "Gastrointestinal illnesses can have many causes," the spokesperson added.

One parent, Danielle Farrow, told the outlet, "A teacher said it was 'like Armageddon.' Our daughter said there were trash cans lined up and kids just throwing up everywhere."

Danielle's partner Jon Farrow added, "Our student's teacher told us that it was like the apocalypse."

Another mother, who chose not to be identified, said her 9-year-old daughter threw up "five or six times" overnight last Thursday, according to Yahoo.

According to Fox News, officials at the Clark County School said in an email to parents, "The Southern Nevada Health District (SNHD) is investigating the cause of the gastrointestinal illnesses reported by several of the students at Tanaka.

"Gastrointestinal viruses are common and easily spread from person to person," the email added. "Regular and appropriate handwashing is one of the most effective prevention methods for reducing the spread of gastrointestinal illness and other illnesses."

"We are currently working with the Clark County School District Health Services Department and SNHD on implementing measures to prevent further illness."
