Ice cream poisoning at Eckford picnic sparks warning
A Sunday school picnic in Eckford and nearby towns led to five gallons of ice cream being accused of causing illness. Victims including the Sackett family in Eckford suffered cramps and vomiting, with Dr. Greene diagnosing a toxin in milk. Others in Arzah Robinson and Wesley Ball households were affected but not gravely sick. Boiling the ingredients may have lessened the harm. Political notes mix with local health scare as residents react to reports and speculate on national issues.
