CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Thousands of people who ate at a Taco Bell in New Hampshire are being urged to watch for signs of hepatitis A after a restaurant employee was diagnosed with the liver infection.

New Hampshire health officials said Friday that anyone who ate at the restaurant between Feb. 7 and Feb. 21 should call their doctors if they experience symptoms including fever, tiredness, loss of appetite, nausea, stomach pain, dark urine or yellowing of the skin and eyes.

Officials said those who ate at the restaurant between Feb 15. and Feb. 21 also should consider receiving an injection of immune globulin, a treatment that greatly lessens the chances of acquiring the disease but is only effective if given within two weeks of exposure.
