Nairobi - About 130 villagers in eastern Kenya were treated in hospitals for food poisoning linked to eating meat from sick animals, a health official said on Sunday.
Scores of people flocked to hospitals in eastern Kenya's Nyambene district complaining of "vomiting, diarrhoea, general abdominal pains and body weakness," local health official Michael Kariuki told state-run Kenya News Agency.
Consuming meat from domestic animals and wildlife which had not been inspected was common in the east African nation.
