Likewise, the Department of Food Hygiene, under the Ministry of Health, also did not find toxic substances in the water of school establishments. In the course of three schools in Uspallata, the Directorate of the Medical Forensic Corps, under the Public Prosecutor’s Office, found that no organophosphoated remains, carbamates and pyrethroids were found in the patient analysis. These results rule out all types of poisoning from these substances and especially from the 22 patients who entered nosocomio last Monday.
