Health officials in Saskatchewan, Canada, are urging customers of Domino's Pizza in Martensville to monitor themselves for symptoms of typhoid fever.
Restaurant patrons may have been exposed to Salmonella typhi, also known as typhoid fever.
Anyone who consumed food or beverages from the Domino's store located at 717 Centennial Drive South between October 11 and 19 is at risk, according to the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA). The danger isn't limited to pizza. Any food or beverage could have been contaminated.
Typhoid fever is a rare infection, but treatable with antibiotics, the health authority said in its public warning. It is transmitted through contaminated water or food.
Symptoms can develop anywhere from three to 60 days after exposure to the bacteria. Symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue, upper body rash, constipation, diarrhea, and vomiting. Some patients develop more serious complications.
The health authority said people should call 811 or seek medical attention if they have symptoms associated with typhoid fever and ate or drank at Domino's Pizza in Martensville during the exposure dates.
