In order to determine if these two people at Bonefish became ill from food consumed from there, we need to know the time they ate, what they ate, how many other people that night ate the same thing and whether anyone else became ill. This is how the HD verifies the cause and site. Without that info, you cannot say with certainty that it was the restaurant's fault.
Correct! Staphylococcal food poisoning can sometimes hit in 6 hours, but getting sick right after the meal is something else
