More than 120 M2 school children from the Montfort College were taken to hospitals in the San Sai area of Chiang Mai after developing stomach trouble after consuming lunch. 

 

Seventy six pupils from the well known Catholic school were treated at San Sai Hospital and 50 others were taken elsewhere as medical personnel were swamped. 

 

The children had been at the Ban Chum Jit camp where boiled chicken in sauce was on the lunch menu, reported Daily News. 

 

Samples of food consumed and samples of vomit are being tested to ascertain the source of the problem. 

 

Daily News reported that all the children were recovering and many had already been taken home by parents and relatives yesterday afternoon. 

 

More than 100 doctors and nurses were drafted in to deal with the problem.

Reheated rice is often the culprit.

Vomit is the contents of what you consumed... makes sense really!

Salmonella is quite common in chicken. The control group would be those children that did not eat a certain part of the menu, and were not affected.

Happened last night at around 6 pm. I live within walking distance to San Sai Hospital and I could hear all the ambulance sirens. I thought it was a major road accident as there were numerous ambulances.

Correction.  Incorrectly and under reheated rice, and pasta are often the culprits.

Seems something going around in CM as my wife, neighbours and myself also have fallen sick. 

 

I personally am never sick but came out every hole non stop for 48 hours causing dehydration too.
