Armadillo shell works better

Geeze Friwi probably just Mad Pig desease! Talking UK!!

"The neighbours told me within 30 minutes of eating their meal they were throwing up at 15 minute intervals. Shibu rang 111 and fainted through the conversation."

Toxin-releasing bacteria and other food poisoning organisms do NOT fit the bill with such (1) short time between ingestion and (2) very severe effect.

Look for yourself on this useful chart: http://www.foodborneillness.com/incubation-ranges.pdf

Accidental spicing with hemlock could however fit the bill, what with paralysis.

Interesting quote from WebMD, about eating animals that in turn have eaten hemlock:
(From: https://www.webmd.com/vitamins-suppl...ntname=hemlock )
"Hemlock is a very poisonous plant. In fact, all parts of the plant are toxic. Hemlock is most poisonous during the early stages of growth in the spring, but it is dangerous at all stages of growth. The poisons in hemlock are so deadly that people have died after eating game birds that had eaten hemlock seeds."
"Hemlock is native to Europe and western Asia and was introduced into North America as an ornamental plant. It is frequently found in the US and southern Canada. Hemlock typically grows near fences, roadsides, ditches, abandoned construction sites, pastures, crops, and fields, where it can be confused with harmless plants. Accidental poisonings have occurred when people mistook the root for parsnip, leaves for parsley, or seeds for anise."

I prefer the Boar War

Tutu poisoning??

So....has the tox results been reported as yet?

hemlock has been used for suicide/execution since ancient greek egyptian .roman times.given pigs are omnivores -who knows it could have eaten anything from animal carcasses?grassgrub treated pasture ,tutu or any bloody thing and its sheer coincidence this bloke shot this ine and its turned out to be an ardent student of karma.
Trademe message boards are full of hysterical twats and c ts on it .was going to chip in but thought fuck it dont lower yourself.
anyone here with heart problems -used digoxin??thats originally derived from the common garden variety foxglove with its component digitalis.dont ingest a feed though to "see what happens"leave that to thick shits.
Hmmmmmmaybe mr piggy ingested a dose of a specially prepared cannabis crop???
actually in hindsight im wondering if ESR or national poisons center are in fact have trouble identifying the toxin and may have had to go overseas for assistance -wouldnt be the first time.

Hopefully the boar war turns out for us like the emu war did for the Australians

According to the news tonight they are strongly suspecting botulism. Turns out it may not have even been the pork.

Doctors believe three people left gravely ill after eating wild boar are suffering from botulism, a Waikato Hospital spokeswoman says.

"While we don't know the exact cause and source of this illness, we now believe it is botulism. The three patients are responding to botulism anti-toxin and are recovering in hospital.

"We have sent samples off to a specialist centre in Queensland for testing but it may take several weeks before we get the results. We have no evidence to believe there is any public health issue."
