On Wednesday evening, the Florida Department of Health in Orange County tweeted that a food service worker at the Morimoto Asia restaurant at Walt Disney World had been infected with hepatitis A, a highly contagious liver infection. Symptoms include nausea, abdominal pain, jaundice, loss of appetite, diarrhea, and extreme fatigue.
