The Erie County Health Department in Erie, PA, has actually determined a case of liver disease A in a dining establishment employee.
The staff member operates at Cracker Barrel, which lies at 7810 Interstate Dr. in Summit Township. Consumers who consumed or consumed at the dining establishment or purchased or provided take-out from Jan. 30 through Feb. 21 are asked to look for signs of liver disease A.
Signs can take 2 to 7 weeks after direct exposure before they begin to appear. They consist of tiredness (fatigue), anorexia nervosa, queasiness, stomach discomfort, diarrhea, dark urine, joint discomfort or jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes). The signs can last from a couple of weeks to a number of months. If they appear, health authorities prompt you to look for medical attention.
