We usually see in the news “restaurant XXX causes 15 patrons to fall sick”. Assuming most of the customers don’t know each other nor have means to contact each other. Who’s asking the patients where they ate and who’s making the connection?
I ask because for all the times I’ve had food poisoning in my life, I’ve never been asked by the doctor where I ate.

Next time you get a stomach bug that might be food poisoning, it can’t hurt to leave a message with your local health department reporting it and mentioning any restaurants you ate at within the prior 48 hours.
