Health warning issued for SI swimsuit party


LOS ANGELES -
There may have been an unwanted guest at some swank Hollywood events earlier this month, including Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue party.

Someone who works for Wolfgang Puck Catering has been diagnosed with the hepatitis-A virus and may have exposed guests at several events.
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health says the risk of illness is "quite low" but anyone who ate raw food at Sport Illustrated's party February 14th is urged to receive a preventive shot.

The hepatitis-A virus can be spread through contaminated food and water. While it is rarely fatal, it attacks the liver and can cause fever, diarrhea and jaundice.

Puck's restaurants and prepackaged foods are not affected, nor was Sunday's post-Oscars Governors Ball.

Hope he washed his hands and wore gloves when handling food!
