DF - foodborne illness outbreak?

Hi - I'm just wondering if there's some kind of bug going around DF at the moment.

Last week I was in the city along with four colleagues. Each one of us came down with food poisoning over the course of that week, from different food eaten at different places.

My boss and I apparently got the bug last Sunday eating at one of the restaurants in the Mercado Medellín in Roma Sur. A couple of other coworkers came down with something similar a few days later, eating fish tacos somewhere in the Zona Rosa. Another coworker thinks he got sick from the hotel breakfast this past Friday.

I don't think we could have each infected each other, as the three groups of sick people never actually ate a meal together or had much contact with each other.

I've traveled a fair bit in Mexico over the years and never once gotten sick - and the fact that every one of us came down with similar symptoms within days makes me think there might be something going around in DF.

Anyone?
