The disease may have been passed to the kitchen worker from relatives visiting from overseas, authorities said, though they would not say from what country or when the relatives visited.

Ya think there is a reason this info has been classified?

One of my coworkers picked up typhoid in Malaysia a few months ago visiting in-laws. It was a little bit worrisome!

Exactly which sea does a Mexican have to cross to get to us?

Not *everything* can be blamed on Mexicans...

Not too hard to figure out what country the guy is from.

That chart is an eye opener.

I swear I almost ate in Hicksville’s Mamma Sbaros last week. I chose Jani, a chinese place across the street.

Hicksville has a growing sub-population of (Asian) Indians and hispanics. Thyphoid Jose almost certainly was an illegal from Honduras or El Salvador. They are found in the kitchens of most Long Island restaurants.

“Typhoid is a bacterial infection passed on through eating food or drinking water containing infected feces or urine.”

Looking at the chart leads me to believe that Mexicans don’t wash there hands before leaving the bathroom.

Probably the Rio Grande during flood season. LOL

My grandmother died of Typhoid fever in 1916, two weeks after my father was born.

10 to 1 it’s an illegal alien from SOMEWHERE, likely from Mexico or Central America. What authorities DON’T want is a panic, but they also are afraid of the ACLU/MALDEF crowd in terms of lawsuits if they come out and say “He’s not REALLY from NY...he’s an illegal alien from...”

The wonders of unrestricted immigration never cease to amaze. It’s a gift that keeps giving and giving. Murder, rape, disease, burglaries, assaults, pedophiles, drunk drivers and the list goes on and on.

Not so much an eye opener but cold hard facts to back up what I’ve suspected.

...The department emphasized that Mama Sbarro's had passed two inspections since Friday evening,...

Yeah, so had that crane in NYC.
