On October 25, 2019, Ms. Gordon purchased and consumed food and drink at Wild Ginger Asian Fusion, located at 45 Main Street,Corland, New York. Four days later, she began experiencing the onset of symptoms, which included, diarrhea, dizziness, and body pains which worsened over the course of the week. With persistent symptoms, Ms. Gordon sought medical care at a local clinic, where a stool culture tested positive for a *Campylobacter* infection*.* Ms. Gordon continues to recover from her infection and related injuries. In early November, the Cortland County New York Health Department alerted residents of an outbreak of Campylobacteriosis among people who ate at Wild Ginger Asian Fusion, between 10/18/2019 and 10/31/2019. “Although complications from *Campylobacter* food poisoning are rare, they do occur in some cases, including Guillan-Barre syndrome, reactive arthritis, and appendicitis", said Bill Marler. To date, seven patrons have tested positive for this bacterial infection. The investigation by the Cortand County Health Department regarding the *Campylobacter* outbreak is still ongoing. ![](https://www.foodpoisonjournal.com/files/2019/11/Screen-Shot-2019-11-07-at-3.21.43-PM-556x640.png) **Campylobacter:** [Marler Clark, The Food Safety Law Firm](http://www.marlerclark.com/), is the nation’s leading law firm representing victims of Campylobacter outbreaks.
