According to Japanese media STV News, the Asahikawa City Health Center in central Hokkaido announced on the 2nd that a group of food poisoning occurred at a restaurant.
It is known that the patients ate lunch boxes sold at a delivery lunch box restaurant in Higashi-Takas, Asahikawa-si, on the 25th.
Of the 692 people who ate lunch boxes, 144 men and women aged 13 to 81 complained of symptoms such as diarrhea and abdominal pain.
The health center said 'Vibrio enteritis' was detected in the feces of several patients.
Most of the patients are generally recovering, but one man in his 60s has died.
However, the causal relationship between men's cause of death and food poisoning is not known.
The health center ordered the business to be suspended from the 2nd.
Meanwhile, Vibrio enteritis is a bacterial enteritis caused by Vibrio specificities and is mainly infected through contaminated seafood or seawater. In particular, as seawater temperature rises in summer, bacteria actively multiply, increasing the risk of infection.
Symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, fever, and dehydration.
Symptoms develop within 12-48 hours of infection, and most recover within a week, but people with weak immunity have a possibility of serious complications.
