On August 25, a 13 -year -old boy died in Cairo (Egypt). He had consumed three packets of raw instance noodles while participating in the ongoing “Eat Rmen Raw” challenge on social media. Within half an hour, he started having severe abdominal pain, vomiting and sweating. He died when the condition deteriorated.
Investigations revealed that noodles were not bad or contaminated. Doctors admitted that eating so many dry noodles together caused serious problems like blockage in his intestines.
Danger of eating raw noodles
You can make blockage by swollen stomach.
Definition and severe abdominal pain can occur.
Masala powder and oil can prick the intestines.
