Illinois Hepatitis A: Houlihan's
People who dined at Houlihan's in Geneva, Illinois, before January 19, 2007, may have been exposed to hepatitis A by an infected food handler at the restaurant. Health officials are particularly concerned about people who consumed beverages containing ice. Health officials have set up a free clinic to administer immunoglobulin shots, which can be effective within 14 days of exposure to hepatitis A.
The incubation period for hepatitis A is between 4 and 20 weeks. People who ate at Houlihan's, will have to watch for symptoms of hepatitis A for almost 5 months. Those at highest risk for serious illness resulting from a hepatitis A infection are the elderly and those with compromised immune systems. Anyone diagnosed with hepatitis A who ate at Houlihan's should immediately consult a lawyer with hepatitis A lawsuit experience.
