Title: Sickened customers sue Olive Garden

A lawsuit was filed Tuesday against a Olive Garden restaurant on the Northeastside where nearly 400 diners recently became ill.

The complaint filed in Marion Circuit Court on behalf of Diana K. Redman and Courtney A. Redman asks for the case to be certified as a class-action lawsuit and that the restaurant's operator compensate victims "for their damages and all other relief proper."

The Redmans, identified as residents of Hamilton County, became ill with symptoms that included nausea, vomiting and diarrhea after eating at the Olive Garden, 6130 E. 82nd St., on Dec. 13.

Court documents say the Marion County Health Department found norovirus in three of the restaurant's workers. The complaint contends the virus was transmitted to the Redmans and other diners through food contaminated by direct contact with the infected workers or through contact with surfaces they had touched.

The two women are among more than 370 patrons who exhibited similar symptoms after eating at the restaurant during a period from Dec. 9 to Dec. 15. The complaint asks the court to certify as part of the class covered by the potential lawsuit anyone who ate there during that period and became ill.

The complaint also alleges negligence and breach of warranty on the part of the restaurant's operators. It does not include a specific amount of damages sought by the victims.

Attorneys for the Redmans and for Orlando, Fla.-based Darden Restaurants -- the parent company of Olive Garden, Red Lobster, Bahama Breeze and Smokey Bones restaurants -- could not be reached for comment late Tuesday.

Bob Scott, senior manager of total quality for Darden Restaurants, said he had not seen the complaint and could not comment on the allegations.

Scott was at the Indianapolis restaurant Tuesday to oversee its reopening and said the company is committed "to regaining the trust" of those affected.

"We are ready to accept that challenge," he said.

Yummy info from the CDC...

How is norovirus spread?

Noroviruses are found in the stool or vomit of infected people. People can become infected with the virus in several ways, including:

eating food or drinking liquids that are contaminated with norovirus;

touching surfaces or objects contaminated with norovirus, and then placing their hand in their mouth;

having direct contact with another person who is infected and showing symptoms (for example, when caring for someone with illness, or sharing foods or eating utensils with someone who is ill).

Food and drinks can very easily become contaminated with norovirus because the virus is so small and because it probably takes fewer than 100 norovirus particles to make a person sick. Food can be contaminated either by direct contact with contaminated hands or work surfaces that are contaminated with stool or vomit, or by tiny droplets from nearby vomit that can travel through air to land on food. Although the virus cannot multiply outside of human bodies, once on food or in water, it can cause illness.

You're supposed to be stupid, son. Don't abuse the privilege.

I work where foreign guest workers (not illegals) don't seem to know a few basic hygiene rules; like covering your mouth when you cough or sneeze. I can put up with foreign men who push through the elevator door first, but not the health concerns.

The real worry from Mexico is the drug resistant TB.

"The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer."
