El Azteca killed a guy? I’m serious.

On the day following the autopsy, the medical examiner notified the county health department that a large amount of Clostridium perfringens had been found in Bonds’ stool. The day after, county health inspectors visited El Azteca. Four days had passed since Bonds ate there. The inspectors took samples of beef from a steam table and delivered them that afternoon to a state lab, according to the health department’s investigative report. State epidemiologists found 6 million cells of the bacteria per gram of beef.

Fulton health department officials said those numbers warrant attention, since as few as 10,000 cells per gram can cause illness. But the numbers don’t indicate how harmful the beef could be, because different people have different reactions to the bacteria, officials told CL.

Crazy stuff.
