FAMILY SUFFER TRAGIC DEATH AFTER EATING LEFTOVER NOODLES THEY HAD FOR BREAKFAST

This serves as yet another reminder of how crucial it is to store and use leftovers appropriately. This is the terrible story of a family who all died horribly and painfully a few hours after consuming the same breakfast. Meals that are prepared in bulk and frozen are revolutionary. After a demanding workday, you can take advantage of the advantages of a home-cooked meal without having to start from scratch.

But if you don't take the right precautions when storing and reheating some foods, this method can also result in major health problems. One Chinese family's choice to begin their morning by eating Suantangzi, a homemade dish consisting of thick noodles made with fermented corn flour, had fatal results. 

To commemorate a national holiday, the 12-member family got together and ate the meal early on October 5, 2020. Only nine of the twelve people there decided to eat the dish, even though the noodles had been prepared and defrosted after a year in the freezer. Due to the taste, it is understood that the younger family members chose not to eat it.

All of the family members who had consumed the noodles started to feel very ill in the hours that followed, displaying signs of nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain. Despite receiving treatment at the hospital, they would all pass away in the days that followed from the unexplained illness.

The fermented soup appeared to be the most likely cause of the deaths, which prompted local authorities to look into what had caused three-quarters of the family members present to become ill and die. The noodles spoiled during the freezing and defrosting process, which led to the development of a high concentration of lethal bongkrekic acid. Both the noodles and the stomach fluid that the doctors analyzed had a high level of bongkrekic acid.
