'Team Diarrhea' investigators in MN

The Minneapolis Star Tribune reported that investigators from the Minnesota Department of Health helped trace the source of a mysterious salmonella outbreak. Turns out it was jalapeno peppers.

"While tomatoes haven't been entirely cleared by federal authorities, attention has now turned to the peppers in what federal officials said was a major break in the case. A gee-whiz state lab, investigators dubbed "Team Diarrhea" and a unique approach to sleuthing illness contributed to the breakthrough."
