This is what Ignatius had... the Campylobacter Jejuni bacteria in his system. How he got it, is a mystery. It could be from uncooked chicken, it could be from chicken feces, it could be from contaminated hands that just touched raw chicken. Whatever it is, we're glad it's over.
The symptoms of gastroenteritis are : Fever, abdominal pain, nausea, headache, and muscle pain. Of these, I think Ignatius had the fever only. He didn't display any signs of other pains. Thank God!
