- BANGKOK (Reuters) -- Thailand
is going to use mice to test food for poison before it is served to U.S.
President George W. Bush and 20 other Asia Pacific leaders at a regional
summit in Bangkok this month, a top health official says.
-
- Department of Medical Sciences chief Somsong Rugpao said
samples of dishes served during the October 20-21 Asia-Pacific Economic
Cooperation summit would be injected into mice.
-
- "We'll have a result within a minute. If it's safe,
we'll tell the waiters to start serving," he told Reuters.
-
- Somsong did not how many mice he would use, but the Bangkok
Post reported on Friday at least 20,000 health workers would be on hand
during the summit to ensure the leaders and their delegations remained
in good health.
