C.D.C. Ties 85 Cases of THC-Related Symptoms to Wisconsin Restaurant

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has linked 85 cases of THC-related symptoms to a Wisconsin restaurant. According to the report, the restaurant accidentally used oil infused with THC, the psychoactive compound found in cannabis, during food preparation in 2022. The affected individuals experienced a range of symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and lethargy, after consuming the contaminated food. The CDC investigation revealed that the restaurant staff were unaware of the THC-infused oil and had mistakenly used it instead of the intended ingredient. The incident highlights the importance of proper food handling and the need for increased awareness about the potential risks associated with cannabis-derived products, even in unintentional cases. The CDC emphasizes the significance of this case, as it serves as a cautionary tale and underscores the need for vigilance in the food service industry to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
