KUALA LUMPUR: Two people are now being treated at the Intensive Care Unit of a hospital in Negri Sembilan after they were down with poisoning, believed to have been caused by eating mussels.
State health director Datuk Dr Harlina Abdul Rashid, in a statement today, said the two were among eight cases of poisoning from eating mussels detected by the Negri Sembilan Health Department.
“This incident was first detected on April 1, when the Port Dickson district health office received notification from the Port Dickson Hospital.
