Mystery illness hits pre-Oscar ceremony

LOS ANGELES, March 8 – A mystery illness has overcome at least 100 guests who attended a pre-Oscar ceremony honoring scientific and technical achievement last weekend.

THE TOTAL NUMBER of people sickened has not been determined, but the Los Angeles County Department of

Health said Thursday that at least 100 were overcome, while Oscar officials said it could be nearly 200.

County epidemiologists were examining everything from the fish and beef on the menu to the desserts and wine.

Investigators also collected stool samples from sickened individuals to determine the nature of the disorder.

The illness was characterized by vomiting, diarrhea, nausea and sometimes a low-grade fever. Symptoms were typically lasting one to two days.
