After the guests left, everyone felt dizzy, but thought it was due to being drunk so no one paid any attention. By about 2am on April 13, most of the wedding guests were vomiting, some had convulsions, and some vomited blood.

Doctors at Son La General Hospital said: the patients were hospitalized due to food poisoning and are being given intravenous fluids and detoxification treatment.

The hospital is increasing medical staff to the Chieng Co Commune Health Station (where hundreds of patients are being poisoned) to provide first aid, and is continuing to mobilize 5 ambulances along with local motorbikes to transfer severely poisoned patients from the commune health station to the hospital's Emergency Resuscitation Department for treatment.

Currently, the Provincial General Hospital has transferred about 100 poisoned patients for treatment and about 200 other patients are being treated at the Chieng Co commune health station./.
