But nothing in that story indicates that the contamination occurred due to the basil traveling long distances.

December, 2003: I had a case of food-borne illness that knocked me out for about 5 days(I think Fish and chips in an irish bar, not sure though). My recovery was ginger-ale and chicken broth. On day 6 my girlfriend called and asked to meet me at a restaurant for a late night dinner. I met her and her friends and my first solid food in six days was a tomato fritter. Relapse.

I came into Palena the next afternoon and told Chef about the night before and the havoc that the fritters had wrought. He said "That's what you get for eating tomatoes in December.".
