INDIANAPOLIS — Eighty-
nine people have been rushed to
Five area hospitals, apparently
suffering from food poisoning
from a convention luncheon at
the Sheraton West Hotel. All but
one were treated and released.
The victims were among a
group of about 275 people from
Indiana, Ohio and Illinois
attending a sales meeting of Tri-
Chem Corp., of Harrison, N.J.,
which makes “liquid embroid
ery” craft kits.
The only person admitted to
a hospital was Maryknell
Kocher, 46, Algonquin, Ill. She
complained of chest pains and
was placed in the Methodist
Hospital cardiac unit, hospital
officials said.
The conventioneers became
ill at a sales rally about 30 mi
nutes after eating a lunch of
baked chicken, green beans,

Many victims complaint
chicken smelled or tasted
according to various emer|t ac0
officials.

NEW YORK — An airline
passenger who suddenly suffers
chest pains, faintness, and rapid
breathing — the classic signs of a
heart attack — may be ex
periencing hyperventilation
rather than a heart attack,
according to the American
Medical Association’s Commis
sion on Emergency Medical Ser
vices.
In fact, hyperventilation is
the most common ailment to be
set airline passengers, says the
commission in a report quoted
in the July edition of American
Health Magazine.
Doctors, nurses or para
medics aboard are advised in the
article to treat such patients by
placing a disconnected oxygen
mask over mouth and nostrils.
In rebreathing their own ex
halation, sufferers will be inhal
ing carbon dioxide and normal
respiration should be restored
within minutes.
If no medical personnel are
board, the sufferer who recog
nizes the symptoms can treat
himself by taking the plastic-
lined motion sickness bag pro
vided each passenger and brea
thing into it for about 5 minutes.
Chest pain caused by hyper
ventilation is relatively mild,
while chest pain caused by a
heart attack is crushing and
often followed by pain in the left
arm. Hyperventilation also
causes a numbness around the
mouth and sometimes spasms in
fingers and toes.

NEW CITY, NY. — A
parked car is a dangerous place
for pets — and newer cars can
even create more heat stroke
problems than older ones — says
the president-elect of the Amer
ican Animal Hospital Associa
tion.
Dr. John B. McCarthy, of
New City, says manually oper
ated floor vents that allow out
side air to enter usually are eli
minated in factory air-
conditioned vehicles. In addi
tion, many windows in newer
cars cannot be opened.
Car temperatures are
affected by more than the sun,
McCarthy says. Heat from pave
ment and streets and catalytic
converters and other parts of a
car’s exhaust system can contri
bute to interior temperatures,
he adds.
Even when the outdoor tem
perature is only 70 to 75 de
grees, that inside a parked car
can rise above 100, McCarthy
says. When the heat combines
with high humidity and poor
ventilation, the results can be
disastrous for pets, he adds.
The veterinarian says signs of
heat stroke include restless pac
ing, trembling and twitching;
panting, an increased pulse rate
and an anxious or staring ex
pression; and frantic pawing or
scratching at windows or doors
if confined in a vehicle.
Frothing at the mouth is not
uncommon. Gums may become
pale and blueish and vomiting
may occur, followed by convul
sions, stupor or coma.
