A food poisoning outbreak in McHenry County, Illinois at D. C. Cobb’s restaurant has sickened at least 13 people, according to the McHenry County Health Department. That restaurant is located at 1204 North Green Street in McHenry.
The outbreak was identified when public health officials reviewed complaints of people who got sick after eating at that establishment. An investigation into the pathogen that caused these illnesses, and the possible source of the pathogen has been launched. We do not know the patient age range, or if anyone has been hospitalized.
Those sickened ate at D. C. Cobb’s restaurant in McHenry from August 29 through September 13, 2022. A survey was posted by the health department, asking for information about anyone who ate there during that time frame, but the survey is now closed because officials feel they have enough respondents.
One news outlet is reporting that officials may be focusing on lettuce as a possible source of the illnesses.
We don’t know what pathogen has caused this outbreak, but last week officials in that same county announced a possible Campylobacter outbreak. Patients got sick from August 17 and August 30, 2022. Those dates do not line up perfectly, but this is still important information.
