Work 2) Case Study Assignment
Step 1: Using the following scenario, complete the case study.
During Winter Break, Alexa, Briana, and Lesley went to a small Mexican town near the Gulf of Mexico. On Friday night, the girls went to a restaurant. Alexa and Briana shared a pizza with ground beef, refried beans, cheese, and some vegetable toppings. Lesley ate a large portion of chicken fajitas. After dinner, Lesley brought her leftover chicken fajitas back to the hotel and stored them in the room’s refrigerator. Saturday morning, the girls ate bagels and fresh fruit. For lunch, the girls stopped at a deli. Alexa had a spinach salad with fresh strawberries, blueberries, and poppy seed dressing. Briana had a shrimp salad sandwich on a toasted multigrain roll. Lesley had a bowl of seafood gumbo soup. The young women were having so much fun that evening, they didn’t have time for a sit-down dinner, so they each ate a hot dog from a street vendor. When they returned to the hotel later that evening, they were a little bit hungry, so they shared Lesley’s chicken fajita leftovers after reheating them in a microwave. Between 3:00 and 5:00 a.m. on Sunday morning, Alexa and Briana each woke up feeling nauseous and bloated. They spent most of Sunday sick with vomiting and diarrhea. Alexa also had a very bad headache and chills. Lesley felt fine, but she was stuck in the hotel room taking care of her sick friends all day.
Step 2: In a 1-2 page paper, discuss the following:
• Determine what food(s) you think could have potentially been the source of Alexa and Briana’s food-borne illness. Explain your reasoning.
• Identify potential sources of food-borne illness for each of the meals the girls ate over the weekend.
• Based on their symptoms, a suspected food source(s), and the time of onset, analyze which microorganism(s) were most likely to have been responsible for their illness. Use references to support your claims.
• Discuss any precautions that Briana and Alexa could have done differently to prevent developing a food-borne illness. Explain your answer.
