Botulism is a truly terrible disease that can lead to tragedy. The worst thing that neither adults nor children are insured against him. This letter was sent to the editor of one of the newspapers. In this story, you can not fix anything. It remains to hope that it will help other people to avoid this.
On April 6, we are the whole family - Son, daughter and two grandchildren - celebrated grandfather's birthday. And the children and grandchildren pronounced congratulatory toasts, holding crystal wine glasses, grandchildren - with juice, children - with dry wine. Satisfied grandfather gave birth to Cognac. Our friendly feast ended with songs under the guitar. Nothing foreshadowed trouble.
The next day, on Sunday, I went for a sick, growing on the seashore. I have repeatedly swept my favorite children and grandchildren with this vitamin herb. Narrowing the whole package, I quietly went to the evening train. On the way, I had a slightly screwed my head and somehow strangely locked in my throat. Without paying attention to such nonsense, I entered the car and conveniently settled in the hope of rummaged on the way.
Now, finally, my station, but for some reason the familiar landscape outside the windows began to break up and even somehow strangely split. Not understanding anything, I rose and hardly took the first step - my feet did not obey me. Something went home (I had to close one eye so that the road was not doubled), I learned that grandchildren and daughters were vomiting and diarrhea.
What we poisoned? Ate sandwiches with red fish and spicy sprinkled sprinkle, sprats and pickled whales.
«It's good that they had vomiting», - I thought and began to drink warm water with glasses to cause vomiting and at home. The grandfather had no signs of poisoning, but we ate all together. Son came from the sea with the same «Split» In the eyes of I «Drunk» feet. We began to drink activated carbon - on a tablet by 10 kg of weight. It seems to be easier, but the two did not pass. I came across food poisoning for your long life, and not once, and always coped with household means, including manganese. Knowing that the daughter's daughter has coal and mangartee, and hoping that it will cause «ambulance», If it is bad, we have forgotten heavy sleep. Alas, about botulus and his signs we did not know anything!
And in the morning the grandfather went to grandchildren and immediately caused «ambulance» they, and then we and our son, because, in addition, violated and speech. The doctor tried through the probe to rinse my stomach, but to no avail. We were driving first in the infectious hospital, and then in the BSMP (it turned out that botulism is treated only here). There we urgently sent to intensive care and began the struggle for our lives. The daughter was here, but her condition was much harder due to the fact that she ran away from the hospital in the morning to learn about the well-being of children. In addition, her kidney and pancreas worked hard. Apparently, it is her and destroyed, my girl.
Around the clock we began to introduce antibiotics, hormones, antitoxin, vitamins of groups in, anti-cancerous serum, glucose. Seven days I did not rise the eyelids, my voice disappeared, and the terrible dryness in the mouth did not allow talking at all. It was impossible to swallow. The head of the resuscitation almost did not move away from us. Lord, as we are grateful to her, and young sisters, who have been frequently preserved behind drippers, and sanitary worst, round the clock changed vessel and wet underwear.
At night, I, unbelieving, praying God to save my children and grandchildren, mentally persuaded everyone to leave this world: «Children, cute, do not leave... You are so needed here... On this earth... You still have so few years and so much to do... Do not leave my native...» - I repeated tirelessly, as soon as the consciousness was returned to me.
Ten days in resuscitation seemed to me for years of expectations of good news about the children of my and grandchildren. About the sustainable (in two days) Daughter's death told me only for the eighth day when I was still in intensive care... Heart breaks away from grief... My girl, even to say goodbye with you I could not... I buried my daughter her neighbors and colleagues from the military unit.
And grandchilde? They were brought to a children's infectious hospital in a comatose state with a lesion of the respiratory function. Three weeks on the apparatus of artificial respiration, a week unconscious, under drips and non-primary round-the-clock controls of doctors and sisters. Doctors had to fight, besides botulism, with blood infection in children and fungal defeat of the body, with bilateral lung inflammation.
«We pulled them from the world with all the hospital», - said the head of the resuscitation and the attending physician.
Now, when I write this letter, grandchildren still in resuscitation, but already breathing themselves, they say, sit and try to walk - only the strength is still little and the head is spinning.
People dear! I beg you - be vigilant!
Remember that in hermetically closed homemade canned food can be multiplied by botulism microbes. Even the thousandth shares of the gram of botulinum can be fatal for humans. Therefore, at the very first signs of the disease immediately call «ambulance»!
