LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Guests at Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue party on Feb. 14 and a dozen other events may have been exposed to Hepatitis A, which was diagnosed in an employee of Wolfgang Puck Catering, authorities said Tuesday.
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health urged anyone who ate raw food at the Sports Illustrated event, held at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood, to receive an immune globulin shot by Wednesday.
There was a Sonic in a town near where I live that had a worker get diagnosed with Hep. A.
She got fired, and there were HUGE repercussions. To this day if you go to donate blood, you have to tell them if you ate at that Sonic in a two-week period two years ago.
I wonder if the employee who was diagnosed KNEW they had been previously exposed to the virus. Can you imagine the repercussions if they did and someone at the party gets diagnosed with it?
This stuff just freaks me out....and I'm a confessed germaphobe.....

I'm going to guess they didn't know, because I like to think people are more responsible than that, but you never know.
