A patient presents at the Emergency Department with stomach pain, diarrhea, lethargy, fever, stiff neck and shoulders, and other muscle aches. The patient recently ate at a “All you can eat buffet” where they ate “basically everything” (as stated by the patient). Just yesterday, a voluntary recall was put in place by a company that prepares cheese and meat plates containing deli meats and sausages that the buffet restaurant contracts. Your patient acknowledges eating these foods. Given this history, you consider the patient may be suffering from
