Honey, and wild honey, is also eaten by neighbors.

Lu Li asked, "When did you take honey?" ”

Grandma Wang: "Yesterday at noon, my wife brought back the beehive from the forest in the back mountain, and after cutting it, we each tasted a little bit and ate a bite, and in the afternoon we gave some of the hives to the neighbors. Doctor, are we sick because of honey? When my family eats a lot of honey, they say that it is bitter, so I take a bite, and I plan to wrap him with honey candy packets today. ”

"Is it a problem with the honey, we won't know until we test it, is there any honey left?"

"Yes, it's all in my backyard kitchen."

Lu Li stayed in the ward and continued to ask Grandma Wang some questions.

Gu Yanan came out of the ward to the corridor and called Zhou Jie to ask about the situation over there.

Zhou Jie: "Gao Fei and I are seeing patients in the county hospital with people from the disease control in Xiushan County, and we have learned some clues, they all ate wild honey sent by Wang Jianguo in the east of the village yesterday afternoon, and I think their poisoning symptoms are likely to be related to wild honey." ”

"Well, Wang Jianguo is now in the gastrointestinal department of the First People's Hospital of the city, Lu Li also asked about this clue, this wild honey is the key object of investigation, you and Gao Fei went to the patient's home to bring back the wild beehive, and also sampled the food and surrounding environment in the patient's home, and other possibilities were not ruled out."

"Okay, I'll do it all."

——

Xiushui Village, Xiushan County.

Zhou Jie, Gao Fei and people from the Xiushan County Center for Disease Control and Prevention found Uncle Wang's home in the east of the village.

Because of the poisoning incident, Uncle Wang's youngest son and his family came back from the city, the younger daughter-in-law took care of the elderly and children in the hospital, and the youngest son Wang Shaoda took the disease control personnel back to his hometown in the village to check and sample.

Uncle Wang's home is a typical rural tiled house building, with five large tiled houses and a large courtyard.

There were two loquat trees in the yard, and there was a big yellow dog lying on his stomach under the tree, and when he heard someone entering the yard, the big yellow dog stood up vigilantly and barked at the crowd.

"Rhubarb, don't scream!" Wang Shaoda shouted.

The big yellow dog obediently stopped barking.

Wang Shaoda pointed in the direction of the backyard, "The kitchen is in the backyard, and the things I usually eat are there." ”

Backyard kitchen, cut wild beehives are placed prominently on the cabinets.

The hive had been cut into small pieces, a dark yellow honey was flowing out, and the smell of honey attracted a few fruit flies to flutter around.

Goofy wraps all the wild hives in sampling bags and puts them in the sampling box.

In the kitchen, there are still uneaten shepherd's cabbage dumplings, over-fermented dough, a bunch of blanched wormwood sprouts, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar for seasoning, bottles and jars.

There is also a well outside the kitchen door.

Gao Fei and Zhou Lao collected some food and condiments from the kitchen, as well as water from the well.

After all the samples to be collected in the general flow survey were collected, the CDC team went to the next patient's home.

Uncle Wang's next-door neighbors, an elderly couple in their 70s, were two of the three deceased in the incident.

The CDC team walked to the door of the deceased patient's house and found that the deceased's home had been cordoned off, and there were police figures shaking in the yard.

Gao Fei stood outside the cordon and looked in, and found two familiar people - policemen Xiao Li and Nan Hanfei.

Nan Hanfei immediately noticed that a disease control officer appeared at the door, and couldn't help but look for the person he wanted to see in the crowd.

After looking around, I didn't find Gu Yanan.

The policeman Xiao Li also found the tall Gao Fei standing at the front, and immediately stepped forward and asked with a smile: "Your disease control is also here." ”

Gao Fei asked, "Why are you police here?" ”

"We received a report that there were many dead people in Xiushui Village, and I came with the southern team to investigate."

"Is there a result?"

"From the scene to rule out homicide, forensic examination, the time of death of the two deceased was around 3 to 4 o'clock in the morning today, combined with the entire Xiushui Village incident, the cause of death may be acute poisoning, our police are investigating the neighborhood, as long as the possibility of poisoning is ruled out, this matter can be ended in our police, and the rest, it depends on your disease control."

Zhou Lao spoke very politely, "Thank you to the police for sharing information with our CDC, and we will notify you in time when we have news here." ”

Police officer Xiao Li looked around at the surrounding disease control staff, and then looked at Nan Hanfei beside him, and found that there was a faint look of disappointment in the eyes of the southern team.

Police officer Xiao Li knew Nan Hanfei's thoughts, and deliberately asked Gao Fei, "Director Gu didn't come this time?" ”

"No, Sister Yanan and Lu Li are in charge of the investigation of seriously ill patients in the city hospital."

"She is the director of the Emergency Response Office for Disease Control and Prevention, doesn't she come to the scene when such a big event happens?"

"Normally, she will go to the scene, but sometimes it will be handed over to the rest of the emergency team, Sister Yanan is only responsible for commanding, she will definitely not come today, but the on-site investigation is sometimes carried out more than once, maybe the second time she will come, what? Do you have something to do with our sister Yanan? ”

Police officer Xiao Li smiled awkwardly and hurriedly changed the topic, "It's okay, just ask, how is your disease control investigation?" What's the clue? ”

"The initial suspicion is that it is a problem with the consumption of wild honey, but other food poisoning cannot be ruled out, and we are taking samples, and the specific cause is waiting for the results of laboratory tests."

Police officer Xiao Li raised the cordon belt, "Okay, come in and take samples, our police's on-site evidence collection work has been completed, waiting for your results." ”

The incident in Xiushui Village involved a total of eight families, all of whom were Wang Jianguo's neighbors, and they all received wild honey sent by Wang Jianguo before the incident.

Zhou Jie roughly asked all the sick people, and their symptoms were positively correlated with the amount of honey consumed, and the more honey they ate, the more severe the symptoms.

A total of 12 cases were diagnosed in eight households, including 3 deaths, 4 severe cases, and 5 mild cases.

Except for Wang Duoduo, a two-year-old child, the rest of the cases were elderly over 60.

Among the three deaths, there is an elderly couple in their 70s who live next door to Uncle Wang, and an elderly man who lives alone in his 80s who lives in the west of the village and is Wang Jianguo's uncle.

According to Wang Jianguo's wife, Grandma Wang, yesterday afternoon, Wang Jianguo specially sent honey to eight households, two pieces of honeycomb honey for each household.

Most of the honeycomb honey in the old couple's house next door was eaten, and only a small piece of honeycomb was left in the bowl containing honey.

By the time the disease control personnel went to the old man's house in the west of the village to check on him, the two pieces of honeycomb honey had all been eaten, and only the shapeless beeswax-like substance left in the garbage can was left.

After collecting specimens from all the patients' homes, Gao Fei and Zhou Jie returned to the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

Lianhai Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Laboratory.

Patient specimens and specimens collected at the site were concentrated in the laboratory, and Gu Yanan delineated the general testing scope for the laboratory based on experience and patient symptoms.

In terms of microorganisms, Clostridium botulinum, Salmon, and Shiga were detected.

Physicochemical detection of several common toxins and alkaloids for food poisoning: saponinoxins, aflatoxins.

Lab colleagues worked overtime overnight.

After a series of tests, they were all negative.

The investigation into the mass poisoning incident in Xiushui Village has reached a bottleneck.
