Dozens Sickened At Health Workers Conference

Erie County Health officials are trying to determine what sickened at least 44 people during a conference for health workers at the Sawmill Creek Resort in Huron last week. Environmental health director Bob England says it's too early to know whether the illness spread from food, from an infected individual or from another source. He says samples of food served at the meeting are being tested, and officials are investigating how the food was prepared.
