PSU tennis counselor contracts E. coli

An East Halls tennis counselor left University Park early last week -- then told Penn State this week his doctor had informed him he had contracted E. coli, a serious form of food poisoning. Penn State spokeswoman Lisa Powers said Penn State officials couldn't confirm that the counselor contracted the illness while at Penn State. University officials will meet this afternoon to discuss the situation, she said. There was an indication that a few other participants in the tennis camp reported digestive system problems, Powers said, but none of them reported having E. coli. Findlay Commons provides food for all participants at Penn State sports camps. "It would be really unusual because we have so many university food health protocols in place," Powers said. It would be the first case of food poisoning at Penn State in 31 years, she said. Read tomorrow's issue of The Daily Collegian for more details.
