Family Gets Food Poisoning at Dinner Held to Celebrate Them Surviving Food Poisoning
25th August 2016
A Turkish family poisoned themselves and more than 20 guests at a dinner party they threw to celebrate recovering from food poisoning.
Wife and mother Asiye Erdal served an animal the family had sacrificed to show gratitude to God for helping them recover from the earlier illness, but ended up hospitalising everyone present.
Four people remain in intensive care in the northern Turkish province of Tekirdag, Anadolu news agency reports.
Let that be a lesson to us all.
Alattin Erdal, Ms Erdal’s husband, said he was confused by the family’s misfortune.
“We don’t get it. First we were poisoned and then sacrificed an animal for God as a sign of gratitude for gaining our health back. Then we were poisoned once again, as well as the neighbours. May God save us from the worst,” he told Anadolu. “Food poisoning became our nightmare.”
Perhaps God is trying to tell them something.
