During the cooking process, the family gas tank suddenly ran out. Tasting that the beans are not fully cooked but just eaten, she decided to put it on the table.

Ly’s husband, because of poor teeth, only ate 1 or 2 pieces. The whole plate of beans was eaten by Mrs. Lee. At 10 p.m. on the same day, the woman showed symptoms of food poisoning such as diarrhea, vomiting and fatigue.

Mrs. Ly was transported by her family to the town’s medical center for seawater transfusion. However, 3 days later she was still unable to urinate. At this time, the doctors at the center suggested that she be transferred to receive better treatment.

However, Ms. Ly ate the entire plate of uncooked sword beans and steamed them. Consumption of this toxin has caused acute kidney failure, the obvious symptom is that urine is not produced normally.
