Group of eight, comprising children and adults, fell ill from potentially contaminated sushi in Aktobe
In the past two months, the Atyrau region in Kazakhstan has been shaken by two separate incidents of mass poisoning. The first incident involved eight individuals, including two children, who were admitted to the hospital in Atyrau after ordering sushi.
All the victims in the sushi incident ordered Japanese cuisine, specifically sushi and rolls, at home. They were later admitted with symptoms such as high fever, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Bacteriological tests are currently being conducted on the victims to determine the cause of the poisoning.
Interestingly, the nature of the poisoning in the sushi incident is different from the symptoms reported in a recent incident in the Koba district center. In February of this year, 23 fourth-grade students from a local school in Koba were hospitalized with signs of poisoning. The seized product in the Koba incident was not sushi or rolls, but Chinese-made crab sticks.
Two of the victims had to be hospitalized in intensive care, while two adults refused hospital treatment after examination. The condition of the victims in both incidents is satisfactory as of today.
The investigation into the sushi incident is still ongoing, and the exact number of affected individuals in the January incident in the Atyrau region, where multiple people fell ill due to consuming Chinese dishes contaminated with bacteria or toxins, has not been specified.
It's important to note that the poisoning occurred after a schoolgirl brought a product of unknown origin, bought outside the school, in the Koba incident. This is a new fact not mentioned in the initial paragraph.
The investigation into the sushi incident and the ongoing bacteriological tests aim to shed light on these incidents and ensure the safety of the public. The authorities urge everyone to be cautious about the food they consume, especially when it is bought from unknown sources.
