Prevention of human illness from contaminated foods and ensuring food safety are critical public health capacities. An outbreak of unusual symptoms (neurological and gastrointestinal) that occurred among 2 families in Iraq and resulted in 4 deaths, was found to have been caused by eating cake that had been contaminated with thallium, an odorless, tasteless, heavy metal. This submission describes the investigation of this incident. Identification of the rare poison and vehicle of transmission was possible because multiple governmental agencies and private sector health-care providers assisted and worked with each other, within and between countries, during the response to this incident. Clinicians who see sudden painful onset of peripheral neuropathy and hair loss should consider the possibility of thallium poisoning, and because of historical precedents, investigation should include assessment for criminal intent. Awareness and vigilance for illnesses resulting from food is critical.

それにしても、劇的で、安価な毛はえ薬がでないかなぁ...
