Authorities are currently investigating the possibility that the pork may have been mixed with jellyfish, a known culinary ingredient that can cause severe allergic reactions or food poisoning if improperly prepared or if toxic varieties are consumed. The victims exhibited characteristic symptoms including nausea, vomiting, and breathing difficulties. Medical experts note that while some jellyfish species are edible, improper preparation can lead to dangerous physiological reactions requiring urgent medical intervention.
