    Food poisoning at school acquaintance party downs 38 students in Bohol

    At least 38 students, together with their class adviser, were rushed to the
    hospital after suffering a bout of food poisoning caused by what is believed to be food
    brought during their school acquaintance party in the province of Bohol.

    The patients, who were from the Grade 11 class of the San Roque National High School
    in East Poblacion in the town of Albur, Bohol, complained of dizziness, stomach pain
    and headache, and showed symptoms of diarrhea.

    They all began exhibiting the symptoms of food poisoning a day after their
    acquaintance party held last July 26. The patients were then brought to the Gov.
    Celestino Gallares Memorial Hospital (GCGMH) in the provincial capital of Tagbilaran
    City where hospital staff confirmed that they were all suffering from the ailment.

    School principal Ambrosio Fuerzas said that among the food served were kinilaw or raw
    fish in vinegar, grilled pork, fried chicken, rice, noodles, butsi or glutinous rice with
    sweet bean paste, and drinking juice, which the students brought to school to share
    with everyone.

    “They had a boodle fight during our acquaintance party,” he told the Inquirer.

    Meanwhile, the students did not recall anything amiss with the food served during the
    party, although one of the patients said that the rice was under-cooked.

    Majority of the patients have since been discharged from the hospital, although they
    are all still under observation. School officials, on the other hand, are currently
    investigating the possible cause of the food poisoning.

    Questions

    1. What bacteria/virus/microorganisms caused the food poisoning?

    2. What factors might have contributed to the contamination of the food?

    3. What could have been done to avoid the problem?

    Answers

    1. The bacteria/virus/microorganism caused by food poisoning are


    vibrioparahaemolyticus (associated with the consumption of the raw or undercooked
    fish), campylobacter bacteria (raw chicken is often contaminated by it) and bacillus
    cereus (associated with cooked rice).

    2. The factors might have contributed to the contamination at the food are, first,
    transferring a harmful organisms from one another because the article stated the
    students and class adviser had a boodle fight during their acquaintance party. Second,
    the food are possible prepared early in the morning also the preparation of the foods
    are possible prepared incorrectly handled and lastly, the rice is not cooked in small
    quantities and not heated to a high temperature before being eaten.

    3. To avoid the problem that may occur here are the same prior treatment that
    can be used:
    Dizziness

    • The person should lie still or sit down and avoid sudden changes in position
    and let the person have drink fluids.

    Headache

    • Massage the person's neck and back to relieved muscle tension and apply a
    cool cloth to the forehead or at the back of the neck.

    Stomach and diarrhea

    • Provide clear fluids to sip to avoid dehydration. You can also add some salt to
    the water. But the best thing to do first to avoid problems about food contamination,
    the food handlers must have a good hand hygiene and check the expiration dates
    before and after purchasing and preparing the products and cook food thoroughly and
    wash the utensils or worktops before and after preparing or using.
