About-Salmonella website is resource for victims of outbreak linked to Escondido Restaurant

SAN DIEGO — North County Environmental Health officials have traced a Salmonella outbreak to the Elias restaurant in Escondido. At least twelve patrons have tested positive for the bacteria, and it is suspected that the number of Salmonella cases linked to the restaurant will rise as the investigation into the outbreak continues.

Marler Clark, the Seattle law firm nationally recognized for its successful representation of victims of foodborne illness, re-launched its sponsored site www.about-salmonella.com in a new, easier to navigate format today. The site provides information on the symptoms and risks involved with salmonella infection, among other things such as links to information on outbreaks and resources for victims.

“We know that many people turn to the Web as their first source of information, and having represented hundreds of victims of Salmonella poisoning, we have heard time and again how helpful the information provided on this site is,” said William Marler, managing partner of Marler Clark.

“Victims suffer from intense abdominal cramping, bloody diarrhea, and nausea. Many have to be hospitalized, and most miss work,” Marler continued. “It is natural for them to want to find out more about this illness, and we are providing one of the most comprehensive resources on Salmonella that is out there on the Internet.”
