ROSEBURG, Ore. (AP) — A Roseburg woman has filed suit against a Mexican restaurant linked to a salmonella outbreak.
The lawsuit filed Wednesday in Douglas County states Melissa Surmon suffered severe abdominal pain and spent four days in the hospital last month after eating a take-out order from the Los Dos Amigos restaurant in Roseburg.
The county health department said Wednesday there have been 30 confirmed cases of salmonella illness tied to the restaurant.
Salmonella bacteria can cause diarrhea, fever and vomiting.
The suit says Surmon is still feeling the effects of her illness. She seeks at least $100,000 in a jury trial.
