Wedding hell ... about 170 guests were rushed to hospital
WEDDING guests were rushed to hospital when powdered rust remover was added to the banquet food instead of SALT.
About 170 guests had to be treated for vomiting, stomach pains and diarrhoea, it was reported.
The bride's proud father invited friends and relatives to the feast at a village in northern Hebei province, China, on Friday, the night before the wedding, the Beijing News said.
"All food was stewed in a big pot but after dinner started, all of them felt the taste was too bland," the newspaper said.
Someone added what he or she thought was salt several times.
An hour later, the guests were being rushed to hospital.
"When I arrived at the hospital, the observation room was packed with people vomiting, with stomach pains and with diarrhoea," a doctor reportedly said.
The symptoms were short-lived and all the victims were released by the next day.
