30 in hospital due to food poisoning in Western Cape
Thirty-seven people are receiving treatment in hospital due to suspected
food poisoning at Seawinds in the Western Cape.
The people were all taken to hospital on Wednesday evening.
ER24 spokesperson Russel Meiring says they arrived at St Patrick Avenue to find several adults and children crowded around two informal homes.
“It is believed that a number of people had all eaten from a community-cooked batch of food before they began experiencing stomach cramps, nausea and vomiting symptoms.
“Medics assessed the patients and found that thirty-seven people, including several children, were complaining of severe stomach cramps, nausea and vomiting,” says Meiring.
The patients were treated and thereafter transported to nearby clinics for urgent care. All the patients were released on Thursday.
