Community Suspected Anthrax Case in Nong Bua Lamphu After Man Eats Raw Beef
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Health authorities in Nong Bua Lamphu province are investigating a suspected case of anthrax infection after a 64-year-old man developed skin lesions following the consumption of raw beef salad, commonly known in the region as koi neua. The man, a resident of Non Sang District, began showing symptoms on 25 May, two days after reportedly helping slaughter an eight-month-old male calf and consuming part of it in a traditional raw dish. He later developed itchy bumps on his back, shoulders, arms, and stomach. The bumps became red, oozed pus, and eventually formed black scabs—a symptom commonly associated with cutaneous anthrax. Following laboratory analysis, a Gram stain test yielded a positive result. However, medical professionals cautioned that this preliminary finding could indicate various types of bacteria, not necessarily anthrax. A definitive diagnosis will require further testing. Provincial Governor Surasak Aksornkul has instructed the provincial livestock and public health departments to investigate the incident, monitor others who came into contact with the suspect beef, and test the remaining cattle in the same herd. A total of nine other cattle have been identified for blood testing, with samples sent to Region 4 Livestock Office in Khon Kaen for analysis. The infected animal, affectionately nicknamed “Chao Toob,” was sold for 8,000 baht by a local cattle owner, who insisted that the calf showed no signs of illness prior to its sale. She further argued that the affected man, known for consuming raw meat regularly, had recently attended another festival where raw beef was also served—raising the possibility that the infection originated elsewhere. Officials from Non Sang District have since launched a campaign to warn residents against consuming raw meat and to report any signs of illness in livestock. They have also begun disinfecting areas where the animal was slaughtered. Veterinary expert Krisana Phonsawai confirmed that Nong Bua Lamphu has never before experienced a confirmed outbreak of anthrax, especially not in Non Sang District. However, he noted that the current rainy season increases risks as livestock can become weakened due to changing weather conditions. “Farmers are urged to monitor their animals closely,” said Krisana. “If any cattle refuse to eat, show muscle tremors, or exhibit unusual behaviour, they must inform local livestock officials immediately so action can be taken promptly.” Authorities continue to investigate and reassure the local community, emphasising the importance of early reporting and avoiding raw meat consumption until the source of the infection is definitively identified.

Any medication or processed food or atmospheric conditions from smog to dust particles from fukishima could be blamed as well......

Accident Helicopter Crash in Prachuap Khiri Khan
UPDATE Loose Bolts Blamed for Fatal Bell 212 Helicopter Crash Picture courtesy of Matichon. Initial investigations into the recent crash of a Bell 212 police helicopter in Prachuap Khiri Khan province have revealed that two critical bolts had come loose, leading to a catastrophic loss of control and the severing of the tail section, senior police officials confirmed on 30 May. Pol. Gen. Thatchai Pitanilabut, the Inspector-General of the Royal Thai Police, chaired an emergency meeting at the Police Aviation Division in Bangkok. The session was attended by deputy inspector-general Pol. Lt. Gen. Itthiphon Atchariyapradit, aviation division commander Pol. Maj. Gen. Amnat Detboonluang and relevant technical and flight personnel. The meeting was convened following the helicopter crash that claimed the lives of a pilot and two engineers. The wreckage of the helicopter, which had been recovered from the crash site, was transported to the aviation division for forensic inspection. Pol. Gen. Thatchai said the investigation had been prioritised by the national police chief, Pol. Gen. Kittirat Phanphet, who had tasked him with identifying the cause without delay. Preliminary Findings: Two Missing Bolts Speaking after the inspection, Pol. Gen. Thatchai confirmed the initial findings: “The tail rotor lost stability due to two bolts detaching from the rear rotor assembly. This caused the rotor to lose control and ultimately severed the tail section of the aircraft, which is responsible for directional control.” He stressed that while these findings are preliminary, the incident points to either a mechanical fault or a maintenance failure. The detached bolts, still within their operational lifespan with more than 600 hours of use remaining, are now a focus of the investigation. Thai Airways International is under contract to perform major maintenance for police aircraft, while minor repairs are handled internally by the Royal Thai Police. Investigators are working to determine whether the failure originated during manufacturing or during recent repairs and whether the parts used met the necessary quality standards. “We cannot yet conclude whether the fault lies with the manufacturer, maintenance procedures or material quality. But we will find answers. This incident will have consequences, both criminal and civil,” said Thatchai. He added that the process will involve scrutiny of procurement budgets, repair authorisations and potential negligence. In response to speculation that the helicopter had previously been serviced by the Royal Thai Air Force, Pol. Gen. Thatchai said there was no evidence of this so far. “This investigation is grounded in science, with physical evidence and documentation. We must await the facts. This is not a witch hunt, but accountability is paramount. I assure the public, there will be no cover-up.” Pol. Maj. Gen. Amnat Detboonluang, commander of the Police Aviation Division, underscored the seriousness of the incident, noting that two police aviation accidents had occurred within just 30 days. “The safety of our aircraft and the lives of our pilots are of the highest importance. No one wants accidents like this to happen,” he said. Regarding the national police chief’s scheduled visit to Thong Pha Phum in Kanchanaburi province on 31 May, Amnat confirmed that a Eurocopter would be used for the journey instead of another Bell 212, to ensure additional precautions. “All our aircraft are technically safe to operate, but we will only fly after thorough inspections.” Adapted by Asean Now from Matichon 2025-05-31. -
