A one-year-old girl was admitted to the General Zone Hospital No. 11 of the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) in Piedras Negras after she allegedly ingested rat poison, according to the information released about the case.
The minor's admission to the IMSS medical facility followed the alleged consumption of the product used for rodent control. So far, the available sources do not specify the exact time of the incident or the address where it occurred.
The known information indicates that the patient is a one-year-old girl, and her full name and other personal details that could identify her have not been disclosed.
The IMSS General Zone Hospital No. 11 is the facility that received the minor in Piedras Negras, a border city in the state of Coahuila. The sources consulted have not detailed the patient's current health condition or the treatment being administered.
It has also not been reported whether health or law enforcement authorities opened an investigation into the circumstances under which the girl may have had access to the rat poison, nor whether the hospital or the IMSS has issued any official statement.
The case adds to concerns about the handling of toxic products such as rat poison in the home environment, where they can be left within the reach of minors. Authorities have not confirmed any further details about the incident so far.
More information about the minor's progress and any actions taken by the relevant agencies is expected in the coming hours. Until then, the available data is limited to the hospital admission and its alleged cause.
