What information do I need to give the Health Department if I am reporting a suspected food-borne illness?

A 72 hour food history (including beverages, where consumed, time consumed, etc.) will assist with the investigation and can help identify a potential outbreak by linking other food-borne illness complaints.
Examples of other questions that will be asked about include the source of the drinking water, travel, pets, caring for children/adults with diapers, and recreational water exposure (i.e. water parks, rivers, creeks, etc.).
