Fifteen Guests Fall Ill at Wedding Reception
Any Bride and Groom would be upset at the thought of someone falling ill at their wedding reception, particularly if it was due to food poisoning but imagine if more than one person were to become poorly!
During a wedding reception being held at the JCB Lakeside Social Club located in Rocester in Uttoxeter, fifteen people became ill with symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhoea.
People began falling ill during the reception and just before midnight the paramedics were called to help. Six ambulances from the West Midlands Ambulance Service arrived and a handful of the guests were taken to hospital for investigation. They were discharged later on that day but over the next few hours more guests fell ill after they had returned home and they also had to call the emergency services.
The Health Protection Agency is currently investigating the outbreak of sickness at the club to determine its cause. The club itself did not provide the catering for the reception and they have announced that they are happy to help out in any way.
