Sick Christmas party for Illinois Health Dept

Health department workers in southern Illinois may have found contaminated food - at their own office Christmas party.

Bah hambug (pun intended).

After the Lawrence County Health Department had a buffet for 72 people at a restaurant last week, 42 of the attendees suffered stomach problems, including the head of the department, Phyllis Wells.

"I'm telling you, it got me down. I about passed out and everything else," Wells said Monday. "It's not been funny. It's taken the punch out of my whole Christmas."
