Benliu News (Reporter Sha Jinping) Recently, Ms. Li, a resident of Xishui County, Guizhou Province, posted a video on social media, reporting that her two children developed vomiting, diarrhea, and fever after eating sandwiches from a local bakery. During her treatment, government officials asked her to delete the video from her WeChat Moments, and the video has been blocked on social media. The food identification results have yet to be released. On September 21st, Benliu News reporters interviewed Ms. Li and the Xishui County Center for Disease Control and Prevention and other departments to understand the full story.
Two children suffered from vomiting, diarrhea and fever after eating sandwiches from a bakery
"Feeling nauseous again? Sorry, my child is feeling unwell and wants to vomit. I'll call you back later." On the morning of September 21st, a reporter from Benliu News had just called Ms. Li when she heard her child crying. Ten minutes later, Ms. Li replied, "My daughter is in second grade and my son is in first grade. Both got sick after eating sandwiches from a bakery."
Ms. Li said that on the evening of September 16th, she bought two sandwiches from a bakery called "Michael Meijiale" and put them in the refrigerator after returning home, preparing them for breakfast for her two children the next day. This bakery has been open in the local area for over 20 years and is well-known, with several chain stores. The products sold are all produced in its own factory. On the morning of September 17th, the children ate the sandwiches and went to school. They returned home for lunch. That afternoon, the teacher called her and said that the children were not feeling well and asked her to pick them up. After returning home, the two children began vomiting, diarrhea, and high fevers. Ms. Li and her husband quickly took the children to Xishui County People's Hospital and called 110 and 12345.
"After arriving at the hospital, I found several other children who were suffering from vomiting, diarrhea, and fever. Upon asking, they all said they had eaten sandwiches or other products from Michael's Bakery. Some of these children attended the same school as my child, while others attended other schools."
Ms. Li said that a parent had already reported the incident to the police on the 16th before she did. "When I called the police, they asked for evidence. But I think if they had taken the report seriously and started an investigation after someone called the police on the 16th, I wouldn't have bought the sandwich from that store, and my child wouldn't have gotten sick," Ms. Li said.
Many children were transferred to hospitals and diagnosed with the same symptoms of food poisoning and hydronephrosis.
Ms. Li said that after her child was hospitalized on the 17th, examination results showed "mesenteric lymphadenopathy." Xishui County People's Hospital invited experts from Zunyi First People's Hospital to assist with diagnosis and treatment, and they recommended that patients with more serious conditions be transferred to Zunyi First People's Hospital. On the evening of the 18th, Ms. Li transferred her child to the hospital for reexamination.
Ms. Li said the children's clinical diagnosis at Zunyi First People's Hospital was food poisoning, with high-sensitivity C-reactive protein exceeding 110 mg/L (reference range: 0-10 mg/L). They also had multiple gallstones and hydronephrosis.
"After my child was transferred to Zunyi First People's Hospital, about 10 more children were transferred from the county hospital. On the afternoon of September 20th, two of them were diagnosed with hydronephrosis, and one even had symptoms of vomiting blood and bloody stools. Because the hospital said the child's gallstones required surgery, we transferred the child to Chongqing Children's Hospital that evening."
"On the morning of the 21st, my son also started to have bloody stools and continued to vomit and have diarrhea. Since he had just been transferred, many tests have not been done yet," said Ms. Li.
The video was asked to be deleted and the video on the social platform was also blocked.
Ms. Li also told reporters that while she was at Xishui County People's Hospital, county officials, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and the cake shop manager all visited the hospital, with CDC staff taking photos as evidence. The cake shop manager offered to cover everyone's medical expenses.
During this time, county officials also asked her to delete the video she posted on her WeChat Moments. "I'm not sure which county department's leaders were responsible. They also called my hometown and had my parents contact me, asking me to delete the video. The video I posted on social media was also blocked," Ms. Li said.
On the morning of the 21st, reporters called the public telephone numbers of the Xishui County government and the Xishui County Food and Drug Safety Committee Office, but no one answered. A staff member at the Xishui County People's Hospital said they would need to consult with leadership before responding, but they received no response.
A staff member from the Xishui County Center for Disease Control and Prevention told the Benliu News reporter that they collected four samples of stool and food from the bakery between September 17th and 20th. Because identification takes a week, no results are currently available. "I'm on duty today and received three complaints about this this morning. I'm not sure if there were any previous complaints," the staff member said.
On the afternoon of the 21st, Ms. Li said, "Staff from the Xishui County government, the Xishui County Education Bureau, and other relevant departments, as well as school leaders, are still talking to me. Besides telling me not to worry and that the government will handle it, they're still asking me to delete the video."
