A spokeswoman for the Health Department, Melanie Christian, says officials at Holland Hall contacted the agency on Friday after several students and faculty became sick after eating fruit salad.

Christian says officials suspect it was caused by some bad watermelon.

According to an announcement on Holland Hall's Web site, the incident affected all areas of the school. Those affected experienced nausea and vomiting about 30 minutes after eating and felt better within an hour.

Christian says the number of people sickened has not been determined. Food inspectors and epidemiologists conducted interviews and took food samples on Friday.

The school's cafeteria was closed Monday as a precaution.
