I Want to Join Team Diarrhea!

Everybody gets diarrhea now and then. But if crowds of people start spraying their poop, there may be a major public health hazard...and that's when it's time to call in Team Diarrhea!

The Minnesota Department of Health has a group of public health students whose job it is to investigate outbreaks of food poisoning. And since 76 million people a year GET food poisoned in the U.S. alone, these students stay pretty busy!

But sadly, they don't make "Diarrhea Team" T-shirts...how cool would THAT be? So you'll have to settle for that picture of Diarrhea Bear.
