The health department came out to our house and tested everything; swab samples from the counters to the eggs in the fridge. I kept telling them it was the restaurant and eventually that was their conclusion. Took a month to get back on my feet and 6 months before I was 'normal' again.
Maybe I'll just stick to drinking beer.
