Twenty-three students at Fuyang Normal College in China were hospitalized after eating at the same restaurant, authorities said Sunday.

The students of Fuyang Normal College in China's Anhui province showed symptoms of cyanosis -- a blue discoloration of the skin from lack of oxygen in the tissues -- nausea and vomiting after eating at the restaurant in Yingzhou district, Xinhua reported. One student was still in the hospital Sunday morning.

The owner of the restaurant is in police custody and the restaurant has been closed, a police spokesman said.

Investigators said pickles sold at the restaurant contained nitrite, a commonly used pickling ingredient that in large amounts can be fatal. (UPI)

학생 23명 ‘얼굴이 파래지는’ 식중독 걸려

중국의 한 대학교 학생 23명이 같은 식당의 음식을 먹은 후 집단 식중독 증세를 보여 경찰이 조사에 나섰다.

중국 안후이 지방의 푸양 대학교 학생들이 잉주 부근의 식당에서 식사 후 구토증세를 보여 병원진료를 거친 결과 청색증(cyanosis)인 것으로 판명됬다.

청색증은 혈관에 산소 포화도가 떨어져 피부에 푸른 색이 나타나는 질병이다.

이중 한 학생은 일요일 아침까지 병원에 입원한 상태라고 신화통신이 전했다.

식당의 주인은 경찰에 유치되었으며 해당 식당은 현재 문을 닫은 상태다.

경찰 조사결과 피클을 만들 때 주로 사용되는 아질산염(Nitrite)이 식중독 증세를 일으킨 원인이며 아질산염은 다량을 섭취할 경우 인체에 치명적인 것으로 알려졌다.
