Eighty tournament participants staying at the Reno Hilton reported flu-like symptoms Sunday, said Bob Sack, director of environmental health at the Washoe County District Health Department......Sack said the girls and others began experiencing nausea, diarrhea and other symptoms early Sunday morning.......Tom Arnott, 52, of Honolulu, said he, his daughter and three of her teammates became ill Sunday. He spent most of the day at the hospital with a 103-degree fever.

According to the CDCs website, E-Coli patients usually do not have a fever.

Flu-like symptoms include: Fever, headache tiredness, dry cough, sore throat, nasal congestion, and body aches. The list doesn't include nausea and diarrhea (what the article sites as the symptoms of those affected).

This might be salmonella.

What better way to use bio/chem then the "Hilton".

My thoughts exactly.

Initial symptoms sounds like those of diseases such as influenza, hanta or smallpox.

Now I am not saying it is those diseases, but a ternament after which people disperse to various geographic areas would be an excellent staging area for releasing bioweapons.

Legionnaire's Disease is a respiratory (pneumonia) condition. The presentation in these cases is gastrointestinal (nausea, diarrhea).

Meanwhile, his brother Richard has stated, "This has nothing to do with dirty balls. You think we are nuts!?"

Wrong symptoms for Legionaires. That is a lung infection.
