Well, no more leftover Chinese food for me.

quote:

Dr. Bernard Hsu, a licensed toxicologist, described how the young man became severely ill after eating tainted leftovers, including lo mein, chicken and rice.
quote:

“This was a freak accident happening in a perfect storm sequence of events,”
quote:

“The patient had been well until 20 hours before this admission, when diffuse abdominal pain and nausea developed after he ate rice, chicken, and lo mein leftovers from a restaurant meal,”
quote:

“Multiple episodes of emesis occurred, with vomitus that was either bilious or red-brown. The abdominal pain and vomiting were followed by the development of chills, generalized weakness, progressively worsening diffuse myalgias, chest pain, shortness of breath, headache, neck stiffness, and blurry vision,”
quote:

His skin necrosis was said to be caused by “purpura fulminans,” a severe complication of meningococcal septicemia.
quote:

After getting parts of all fingers and his legs below his knees amputated, the man went on to have a “relatively good recovery.”

The video, which identifies the student as “JC,”


Did they check if the reaction was caused by a bee sting instead?

Meningitis from food poisoning? I’m not buying it.

From wiki:
quote:

N. meningitidis is spread through saliva and respiratory secretions during coughing, sneezing, kissing, chewing on toys and even through sharing a source of fresh water. It has also been reported to be transmitted through oral sex and cause urethritis in men.[3] It infects its host cells by sticking to them with long thin extensions called pili and the surface-exposed proteins Opa and Opc and has several virulence factors.

The incubation period doesn’t fit.
quote:

The incubation period is short, from 2 to 10 days. In susceptible individuals, N. meningitidis may invade the bloodstream and cause a systemic infection, sepsis, disseminated intravascular coagulation, breakdown of circulation, and septic shock.

Sounds like an unfortunate case of meningitis coupled with food poisoning. I don't think the takeaway should be to avoid Chinese leftovers forever.

So the dude caught bacterial meningitis via food poisoning.

How the hell did the bacteria get into this bloodstream?



quote:

A friend had eaten the same meal as the victim and vomited — but did not become progressively sick, according to the report.


That's what I would expect to happen.
