Marler Blog - First E. coli Lawsuit Against Ixtapa Family Mexican Restaurant - Comments http://www.marlerblog.com/ Food Poisoning Lawyer & Attorney : Bill Marler : Marler Clark en Copyright 2012 Wed, 16 May 2012 05:04:44 -0800 Wed, 16 May 2012 05:04:44 -0800 http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/?v=4.32-en http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss matt Wait - I don't understand this; please help me out here; I've got a 3 year old girl and I don't mean to sound paranoid, but why wouldn't a stool sample be tested for EC0157:H7 for every child admitted to an ER experiencing diarrhea? Is it too expensive a test to run for too common a symptom?

Gah - I /really/ need to research this; I've been curious for a long time - does anyone know if there's even such a thing as a 'home' or consumer e.coli 0157:h7 test? I know that e.coli is present everywhere and in most cases is completely harmless so I'm sure that makes testing for such a specific strain difficult, but you'd think they'd be able to make something that tests for the specific toxin produced by these bugs.

There was an instant e.coli 0157:h7 test developed at UC Berkley in 1996, all I've found are several variations of the same article:

I think I remember reading that Jack in the Box was now using something like this, but I don't know if it's based on the same technology.

The article makes it seem like this could be developed very inexpensively.
