Teen smoking, drinking decline, while mental health, dietary habits worsen
A heavy metal band front man is suing over the alleged tainted tuna he ate at a Louisiana sushi restaurant.
Chris Fronzak, 22, of Portland, Ore., and members of his band Attila were in Metairie April 10, to play a show and decided to eat lunch at a sushi restaurant, The (New Orleans) Times-Picayune reported.
"Everything tasted great," Fronzak said Friday. "The amount of sushi I got was insane. Little did I know, it gave me salmonella."
Fronzak said within 36 hours he was feeling ill, with extreme stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever and muscle aches.
Fronzak said he was sick for six days before seeking treatment at an emergency room in Kansas City, Mo.
Later, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed Fronzak was one of 258 people infected nationwide with Salmonella Bareilly between Jan. 28 and April 20.
The outbreak has been linked by the CDC to tainted tuna meat distributed by Moon Marine USA Corp., a California-based company named as a defendant in the civil lawsuit attorneys representing Fronzak filed Thursday.
Moon Marine USA recalled 58,828 pounds of a raw yellow fin tuna product that had been distributed to restaurants and grocery stores nationwide.
Fronzak said he is feeling better now, but has racked up more than $10,000 in medical bills from the incident. (UPI)
참치 먹다 배탈난 가수, 식당 고소
한 헤비메탈 그룹의 멤버가 미국 루이지아나의 스시 전문점에서 참치회를 먹고 탈이나 이 식당을 고소했다.
그룹 ‘아틸라’의 멤버인 크리스 프론잭(22)는 지난 4월 10일 공연을 위해 방문한 지역에서 점심으로 스시를 먹었다.
“모든 것이 맛있었다. 살모넬라균이 들어있는 스시가 문제였다.”라고 말했다.
프론잭은 6일 동안 앓다가 켄사스에 있는 병원 응급실을 찾아갔다.
병원에서는 프론잭이 미국 전역에서 1월 28일부터 4월 20일까지 약 3개월간 살모넬라균에 감염된 258명 중 한 명이라고 말했다.
질병관리센터는 살모넬라균이 한 미국 업체로부터 유통된 참치에서 발견된 것으로 밝혀졌다.
이 업체는 미국 전역의 식당과 가게들에 유통한 5만 파운드(약 2만2,600kg) 이상의 참치를 리콜 조치 시켰다.
프론잭은 현재 병이 호전된 상태지만 이번 사건으로 인해 $10,000(한화 약 1130만원) 이상의 병원비를 내야했다.
