Forty-eight hours after an Easter egg hunt, several people who went to the same party all develop nausea, vomiting, fever, diarrhea, and cramping. Nobody gets bacteremic. The illness is self-limited; fever resolves within 2 to 3 days, and diarrhea resolves within 4 to 10 days. Stool cultures show a gram-negative facultatively anaerobic organism. They are lactose-negative and produce hydrogen sulfide.
