SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A botulism outbreak linked to contaminated nacho-cheese dip sold at a Northern California gas station has killed one man and left at least nine other people hospitalized, health officials said Monday.

The San Francisco County coroner's office identified the dead man as Martin Galindo-Larios Jr., 37.

Matt Conens, a spokesman for the California Department of Public Health, declined to release further information on the death, the current condition of the other victims, or the status and extent of the investigation into the outbreak, discovered by early this month.

Family members of Galindo-Larios did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment. An online fundraising page said he was married and the father of two small children.

2. Does laughing at the title make someone a bad person?

Asking for a friend.

3. Don't know about laughing at it but

My first reaction to the story was, who goes to a gas station for nachos?

6. People who are working their ass off all day, stop for a drink and quick food to have energy

While filling up the work truck with gas...

7. The same people who eat the stale hot dogs.

The sell them at gas stations around here, next to the stale hot dogs.

Usually they're Velveeta dip with a film on the top.
With jalapenos on the side.

I wonder if it was the jalapenos?

I wonder if any kids got sick?

Usually it's kids who get gas station nachos around here.

4. Haven't heard about botulism poisoning in awhile

We've been good about preventing it.

I hope this is an isolated case.

8. If Trump gets his way, this will be common.

He wants to get rid of all those expensive food safety regulations.

5. Gas station cuisine is not on my bucket list

Especially the sushi.

[LeftInTX]

9. Yeah, I avoid the sushi too

We've got a few Valeros around here that are trying to up the ante. You can buy frozen milkshakes and smoothies. And then put them in a machine that thaws and whips them. The smoothies aren't healthy. But it is something to grab when starving.

10. ahem...

You might want to make an exception for this place...

The only redeeming factor about Watauga, Texas.
