Food poisoning from insecticide-treated beans.
Nine adults presented at the hospital with symptoms of food poisoning ten minutes to four hours after ingesting cooked beans. Investigation revealed that they came from three different households and had not eaten from the same source of prepared food. Rather they purchased raw insecticide-treated beans which was intended for planting but diverted to the market. The potential for a widespread outbreak from such a source is emphasised.
