Find people who ate at French restaurant after death from botulism - urgent appeal.

Tragedy has struck France as a 32-year-old woman passed away four days after allegedly consuming sardines from Tchin Tchin Wine Bar in Bordeaux. 12 other people are in hospital, including at least one Irish person, as well as Americans, Canadians and Germans. 7 of the cases are in intensive care.

Mathieu Nguyen from the regional health agency has confirmed that all cases are traced back to the restaurant. He further stated that the victims had consumed an artisanal dish containing sardines from the restaurant. The restaurant had earned glowing reviews from Forbes, Decanter, and the name Tchin Tchin even means 'cheers' in English. Unfortunately, the restaurant has been temporarily closed by Google.

The staff at the restaurant reported to Sud-Ouest newspaper that they believed the sardines had gone off, leading to this incident. Botulism, caused by the toxins produced by Clostridium botulinum bacteria, is the suspected cause of death and illness. It is a rare but life-threatening condition which affects the nervous system and causes muscle weakness. Most people make a full recovery with treatment.

The symptoms of botulism include feeling sick, being sick, stomach cramps, drooping eyelids, blurred or double vision, facial muscle weakness, difficulty swallowing, slurred speech, and breathing difficulties. There are three types of botulism: food-borne, wound, and infant. Treatment includes neutralising the toxins with injections of special antitoxins or antibiotics, or supporting the functions of the body until recovery.

The UK Health Security Agency has been notified of a few British nationals who dined at the bar last week and they are now receiving medical attention. The Irish Health Service Executive has also been made aware of a small number of Irish citizens affected by the outbreak. The French health authorities have urged anyone who ate at the restaurant from September 4 to 10 to seek immediate medical help, even if they present mild symptoms.

This incident serves as a reminder to always be cautious when it comes to food consumption. Another case of Vibrio infections was reported in the US when an unnamed man in his 30s died after eating raw oysters containing a flesh-eating bacteria. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have issued an alert earlier this year and people are urged to take extra precaution.
