YOUNGSVILLE, La. (KLFY) -- For Cody Mullen the day started just like any other, stopping at a local gas station to buy a gallon of water.
Mullen said the day started off like any normal day.
"I went back to my office, happened to eat a couple of handfuls of cashews, didn't wash my hands," he said.
Shortly after, Mullen said the day took a turn for the worse when he began feeling ill. While he initially thought it could be the flu, the downward spiral continued.
