In other news, if you had the unfortunate luck to frequent a certain Sbarro’s eatery in Long Island (at 265 North Broadway, to be precise) between March 14 and March 16, you might have typhoid fever:

Nassau County officials issued a health advisory on Saturday to anyone who had recently eaten at an Italian chain restaurant in Hicksville, after a worker there was found to have typhoid fever.

County health officials said a New York City man who is a food handler at Mama Sbarro’s, at 265 North Broadway, contracted typhoid fever, a bacterial infection that can be life-threatening if not treated.

If ever there was an American restaurant where patrons might catch the fever, a Sbarro’s in Long Island would be it. Seriously, have you ever been to a Sbarro’s? Whether it’s in a strip mall in Rochester, NY or in Times Square…ewz.

Typhoid Marinara, anyone?
