TUGUEGARAO
CITY -- A family of four has been discharged from a hospital here after eating
contaminated salted eggs June 23.
Reports
identified the victims as Milton Macababbad, 62, and his children, Mark Neil,
19, and Mylene Sison, 35, and her husband Herbert, 33.
The
victims, all residents of Barangay Linao Norte in this city, Cagayan’s capital,
were rushed to the People’s General Hospital after experiencing dizziness,
vomiting and stomach ache minutes after having a breakfast of salted eggs which
they had bought at a cheaper price as these already had cracks.
Dr.
James Guzman, city health officer, said the cracks allowed bacteria to
contaminate the salted eggs.
Later
in the same day, 58 elementary pupils in upland Commonal village in Solano town
in this province manifested symptoms of poisoning after eating fruits of the
tagumbao or jatropha tree.
The
children were discharged from hospitals after an overnight treatment and
observation.
The provincial and municipal governments
shouldered their medical expenses.
