A small child eating cotton candy after school in the Yunus Emre neighborhood of Manisa fell ill shortly after, causing his family to experience moments of fear.
FIRST HE FOAMED AT THE MOUTH, THEN HE VOMITED The incident occurred yesterday afternoon in the Yunus Emre neighborhood. Ayşe Ulufer, a shopkeeper who picked up her child from school, encountered a street vendor selling cotton candy at the school gate. Despite his mother's warning, the little boy insisted on having cotton candy and started eating the product after they arrived at the shop. Shortly after, the child, whose mouth began to foam and who vomited, caused panic.
MOTHER DISCOVERED THE TRUTH WHEN WATER WAS POURED After a while, it was understood that the child's discomfort was due to the intense dye in the cotton candy. When mother Ulufer poured water on the cotton candy, she recorded the intense and bright blue dye that emerged with her mobile phone. Ulufer called on parents to be cautious against uncontrolled street vendors around the school.
"I TOOK A PIECE AND IT BURNED MY THROAT" Describing her experience, Ayşe Ulufer said, "After school, my child saw a cotton candy vendor in front of the door and wanted to get it. No matter how much I insisted, I couldn't stop him, so I bought it. I am a shopkeeper, and I came to my shop. My child started eating it here. As soon as he ate, he began to vomit. Foam and bright blue dye were coming out of his mouth. Later, I realized it was from the cotton candy. I poured water on the cotton candy I had in my hand and noticed it was an incredible food dye. I kindly ask our mothers and parents not to buy anything from street vendors in front of the school after school. I will never allow it again, even if he cries. We may have gotten through this easily, but I hope it doesn't lead to bad results. Please do not buy it. I took a tiny piece to see if it was the cause, and my throat hurt, it burned incredibly. If I was affected this much by a piece, my child ate almost half a pack. I noticed the color changed as he ate. I kindly ask all our parents and guardians not to buy such things," she said.
