Students sent to hospital after suffering food poisoning from school lunch
70 secondary students from the Jian Hua School in Nakhon Pathom’s Bang Len district suffered food poisoning after school lunch yesterday. Nakhon Pathom is the province to the west of Bangkok.
25 of the affected students were sent to Supan Buri’s 17th Somdet Phra Sangkharat Hospital suffering from severe diarrhoea, vomiting and seizures.
26 year old Teacher Manasawee Phutthapol says that some 70 students had developed food poisoning symptoms after having lunch and teachers sent the 25 most severely affected students to the hospital.
Hospital director Dr Suparit Hengkrawit said the students most likely suffered from food poisoning after having two dishes.
As of yesterday afternoon (Friday), all students were recovering with only one student, a Mathayom 3 girl, remaining in hospital for medical surveillance.
