Poison Beans strike again

After many months of not seeing anyone who had eaten poisonous beans, we had a few cases in the past month.  Bill was the one who took care of both of them in the ER, and despite the histories not quite fitting with what we typically see or find or expect, when the patients weren't responding to other treatments, he tried our Cyanide Antidote for Poisonous Beans and we got some healthy happy kids and adults when it was all over.

Thankfully, we haven't seen more of it, thankfully people seem to know that there are beans that you should be eating and beans you shouldn't be eating.  Thankfully, we have the medicine to treat the kids or adults who come in after having eaten the wrong beans.  Thankfully the medicine, the antidote works, and people go home as if nothing happened, just like this kid and his mom.
