Food poisoning is acquired from eating food or drinking water contaminated with bacteria, viruses, parasites, or other toxins. Anyone can get it but for younger children as 5 years old, they have a higher possibility because their immune systems aren’t as strong enough at fighting off germs yet. Also, they don’t have much stomach acids that don’t just break down foods but also fight against germs.
On the Facebook page “Pinoy Viral Video,” one netizen shared the reason for the untimely demise of her niece. According to the netizen, she ate a candy which is popular among kids.
“Guys! wag nyo na po hayaang makabili at makakain ang mga anak nyo ng ganito..Gusto ko lang po sa inyo ishare Kung ano yung ikinamatay ng pamangkin ko ito pong candy na to na nabili nya sa tindahan halagang 1 peso ang pumatay sa knya nakakalungkot man po isipin, Natapos yung buhay nya nang dahil sa candy na ito na may lason.
After eating the candy, she started to vomit and complaining of a headache. She was rushed to the hospital’s emergency but suddenly lost her consciousness she didn’t wake up since then. She was transferred to the ICU but eventually passed away, two hours after eating the candy.
“Sobrang bilis po ng mga pangyayari pagkatapos nya kainin to bigla nalang po sya sumuka ng sumuka at ngrereklamo na biglang sobrang sakit ng ulo nya, dinala po namin sya sa emergency at nawalan na ng malay, simula nun hindi na po sya nagising. nilipat po sya sa ICU at doOn na po sya binawian ng buhay. Sa mahigit na 2 oras after nya kainin ang candy na to, don po sya binawian ng buhay.”
At the end of the post, the netizen warned netizens to take care of their children and give extra attention especially on what they eat and put inside their mouths.
Most cases of food poisoning incidents don’t need medical attention. But when the incident is serious like dehydration, you can bring them to the hospital to get IV.
