Here's a true-story medical mystery sent to me by a friend. See if you can figure out what happened, & do post your guesses below. I'll wait a while to post the rest of the story.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A man was home from work taking care of his sick child while his wife and the other children were at school. Suddenly the dog keeled over and died, and their other dog was having
seizures and looked terrible. The man called his wife and she ran home and scooped up the dogs and took them to the vet. Then the kids started coming home from school and there
was also a friend of one kid who came over. They all started getting sick and vomiting and having trouble breathing. At this point the man called 911 and got all the kids outside and
they all were taken to the hospital. The kids needed oxygen and their kidneys were showing some distress. They all eventually recovered and were discharged in 2-3 days, but had to
go to a hotel. In the meantime the CDC was called in to check out the house once carbon monoxide was ruled out, and to verify that they were not a drug family. The mom never
showed any symptoms, but was closely watched when she visited the others in the hospital, because it could not yet be ruled out that she had somehow poisoned her family.
They finally figured out what happened...do you know? Hint: It's animal-related.
