Unexpected events are impossible to predict. Ms. Chen, a tenant living in Shiyan city, suffered food poisoning for her family of three after using half a barrel of cooking oil left behind by her landlord. Her 10-year-old daughter was particularly severe and was admitted to the emergency department of Shiyan People's Hospital.
Here's what happened: Ms. Chen rented an apartment in the city center. The landlord had left behind half a barrel of cooking oil, advising her it was too old to use. But Ms. Chen felt it was a waste to throw it away and kept it stored. On the afternoon of August 24th, while cooking at home, she ran out of oil and suddenly remembered the leftover oil from the landlord. She took some to stir-fry vegetables and cook noodles.Unexpectedly, by 5 PM that same day, all three family members experienced dizziness, nausea, and palpitations. The mother and daughter were particularly severe, also exhibiting vomiting symptoms.
They eventually arrived at the emergency department of Shiyan People's Hospital. After the doctor inquired about their symptoms and conducted examinations, the diagnosis was food poisoning. The doctor stated that improperly used cooking oil can be more harmful than the "gutter oil" found in some restaurants, causing poisoning symptoms and potentially leading to organ failure in severe cases.
Using oil this way is more "toxic" than gutter oil.
