The Sacramento County Department of Health and Human Services said in a statement last week that the cause of the illness "appears to be prepared food, particularly nacho cheese sauce" from a gas station in Walnut Grove.

Symptoms can include blurred vision, drooping eyelids, slurred speech and paralysis, among others. Some cases can be fatal.

My daughter-in-law, who is Japanese, always made it a point to buy the sushi right before closing time, to get the best price. Now this was in Japan where they take sushi and sushi freshness pretty seriously. She doesn’t do that here in the States.

Only a moron eats real sushi in the US!

I almost lost a business partner due to his ingestion of sushi with live egg roe one evening in Mammoth Lakes.

Never question Bruce Dickinson.

Are we talking the producer or the lead singer of Iron Maiden?

I won’t eat anything from a gas station. Too many fast food joints around to chance eating something that may have been there all day.
