Mysterious Illness At Disney World [VIDEO]

Health officials in Florida are trying to figure out why dozens of people are reportedly getting sick after visiting one attraction at Walt Disney World involving live exotic animals.

FOX News Radio’s Eben Brown reports from Miami:

Audio clip:

Groups visiting Disney’s “Wild Africa Trek” have been reporting getting a a strange stomach bug.

(Weister) “We just don’t know at this point, if this could be something related to food, to water, something somebody drank, somthing that came from a surface they touched, or just passed on person to person.”

Dain Weister with Orange County, Florida’s Health Department. The tour features close encounters with animals normally found wild in Africa. But aside from getting sick, nobody’s needed to go to the hospital.

(Weister) ”This is something we believe is certainly under control, but we’re just trying to find out the source of this so we make sure nobody else gets sick.”

    I, with my family, visited the Magic Kingdom around June 18. The next day I awoke and was very sick at my stomach. We went to Epcot (June 19) feeling sick all day and later the next morning (June 20) I woke up around 4 am throwing up/diherea, etc. Was sick for 3 days. Could not attend any parks! At the time I thought it was food poisonng, but now I am not sure. No one else in my family got sick!
