Fighting for her life in ICU, she's one of five people being treated at area hospitals. Walnut Grove near Sacramento.

Buying Doritos, then drizzling nacho cheese sauce on it?  If she didn't die of Botulism, she would have died of a stroke from clogged arteries.

I am actually surprised this hasn't happened more often. If not boutulism, one of dozens of food prep contaminations that can fester in a area that isn't really supervised by professional food handlers. The minimum wage Mini Mart guy isn't the best trained person to clean all of the service area equipment.

Just to be fair.  But have you seen the people working at McDonalds?  But I guess that does prove your point. 

Great, just great.  I just realized I'm getting dragged to the Doggie game tonight, and will have to face said minimum wage workers.

Those pizza slices sitting for hours (days?). No thanks.

Botulism likes cheese.

i'm surprised she didn't't get something worse, like cancer. that shit is nasty.

am/pm. Too much good stuff.

One of my rules for living well is to never eat other people's mayonnaise. I guess I have to add cheese sauce to the list

[Brandon]

i can't even think of a cheese sauce that is good or that doesn't end up with you sitting on the toilet for 30 minutes. whether it be a sporting event or even the little canned/jarred ones like tostitos. recipe for disaster.

Cheese sauce is my shit. You can punch me in the face then give me a soft pretzel with cheese sauce and i'll be happy.

I used to crush 7/11 Big Bites with their "chili"

does that nacho cheese sauce even have cheese in it? i thought it was just food coloring with salt and oil. 

scary stuff.

Agreed.  But Angel Stadium has destroyed it for me.  Their "cheese" changed this year to a watery, orange liquid with a hint of pickled jalapeno.  Actually appeared to have the consistency of a certain bodily fluid.  I had hoped it was a one time thing, and tried them again a few weeks later.  Never, anywhere in my travels, have I found a place that can screw up nacho cheese sauce.  Hell, I even found some in the Frankfurt Airport in Germany of all places.  But I digress....  Back to the oranges rudeness in a small plastic tub.  It is inedible in everyway possible.  No longer the scrumptious melted yellow chemical mixture that can be found in any mini-mart, outdoor festival, fair, sporting event, or in a jar in the chip aisle of a grocery store.  Instead it has become a demon in a cup.  Yes, even the Nacho Cheese sauce at the stadium has been buttercupped.  

Well, at least that's how it is in the little cups from the standard concession stands at the Big A when you get regular nachos or ask for cheese with a pretzel.  I can't speak for the helmet nachos, because those look like prep for a colonoscopy appointment.

Baked Potatoes?  Say it isn't so!

Ten people hospitalized now for botulism in the cheese sauce.

One woman died from this today. Don't know if it was the First Lady to get infected.

Cals, you've got some work coming your way.

[nando714]

I guess no more 711 nachos with jalapeños for a while 

[aznhockeyguy]

I used to get the 7-11 nachos all the time.  Their cheese and chili sauces were so good and I used to basically douse them on my nachos.
