TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Six people were hospitalized in Taichung last week after experiencing food poisoning symptoms following a seafood meal.
A man surnamed Lin (林) visited a stir-fry restaurant with friends. They had grilled oysters and other seafood dishes, according to CNA.
Lin later sought medical attention on June 18 and had diarrhea, abdominal pain, and nausea. Doctors suspected food poisoning.
Lin suspected the seafood may have been undercooked or spoiled. His friends reported experiencing similar symptoms, leading to the hospitalization of all six individuals.
Li’s Hospital Daja confirmed Lin’s emergency room visit on Wednesday (June 26). Examination revealed elevated inflammatory markers and blood in his stool.
Concerns about a potential food-borne illness outbreak arose when two of Lin’s friends also sought medical attention. Hospital staff promptly notified the Taichung Health Bureau
