Xiaoqiang, an employee of a company in Tianjin, claimed to have stayed in a hotel during a business trip, took bottled mineral water to the car and drank a sip of what was suspected to be a "disinfectant". He rushed to the hospital for treatment and called the police afterwards. The hotel said that the water was drunk in a closed state in the car, and it was difficult to determine, and the police said that it was still under investigation.
"I took a sip of the mineral water I took from the guest room, and I felt that the taste was not right and I vomited it quickly"
On December 13, Xiaoqiang (pseudonym) told a reporter from Huashang Daily Gale News that their unit often travels on business, and he came to Ningguo City, Anhui Province from Tianjin on a business trip, and the unit stayed in a hotel in Ningguo City in advance, and checked in on October 23, 2023.

Because he drinks the mineral water provided by this hotel every day, when he went out at 18:15 on the evening of November 17, he took a bottle from the table, unscrewed the bottle of water and drank it after getting into the car, felt that the taste was not right and quickly vomited, and then got out of the car and squatted on the ground to pick his throat, and a burning force quickly spread in his throat and stomach.
Xiaoqiang said that the incident happened too suddenly, and his colleagues thought he was joking, and only came back to his senses when he saw Xiaoqiang's painful appearance. The colleague smelled the mineral water bottle and felt that it was suspected to be the smell of 84 disinfectant.
Xiaoqiang said that he then took the bottle of mineral water suspected to contain 84 disinfectant to the person at the front desk of the hotel and asked them to call the cleaner to ask. Xiaoqiang went to the hospital in a hurry, and he didn't have time to call the police (he called the police afterwards), so he left the bottle of mineral water suspected of being filled with 84 disinfectant in the hotel.
Xiaoqiang said that when he went to the hospital for treatment, he handed over the bottle of mineral water containing 84 disinfectant to the hotel, and now he can't say clearly. It is the current embarrassing situation that has been created.
A hospitalization certificate provided by Xiaoqiang shows that at 7 p.m. on November 17, the chief complaint: The patient mistakenly ingested 84 disinfectant, about 10 mL half an hour ago, immediately drank a large amount of water and milk, and rushed to our hospital without feeling obvious discomfort.

Xiaoqiang said that considering his body, he went back to Tianjin two days later to see a doctor, and did laryngoscopy, gastroscopy, and colonoscopy during the examination in Tianjin, and finally found that the gastric mucosa was moderately damaged. Until now, he has a heartburn in his stomach every day, and he can only eat one meal a day, and sometimes he takes some stomach medicine when he feels uncomfortable after eating. It cost about 3,000 yuan to see a doctor in two places.
Hotel: The person concerned has reported to the police, and the results of the police investigation shall prevail
In response to Xiaoqiang's complaint, a reporter from Huashang Daily Gale News called the person in charge of the relevant hotel several times, but no one answered.
According to a transcript of his communication with the hotel on the evening of November 17, Xiaoqiang said that he had communicated with the hotel staff about accidentally drinking the 84 disinfectant left in the hotel room, and the other party replied that "my aunt said that (the 84 disinfectant) is very probable, and it was not mixed with water", and asked him "what the doctor said, whether to wash the stomach", and "if there is any discomfort, you should say it in time".

On December 13, Xiaoqiang frustrated and told a reporter from Huashang Daily Gale News that he wanted a hotel, but the hotel was "indifferent" to his treatment afterwards, which made him very helpless. These days, only the colleagues at the time greeted him. Xiaoqiang also specially showed the chat records between him and his colleagues to reporters. On December 14, the reporter contacted the team leader of Xiaoqiang's unit, and he introduced that he was not at the scene when the incident occurred, and other employees reported to him afterwards that Xiaoqiang had accidentally drunk disinfectant.
On December 14, a reporter from Huashang Daily Gale News contacted the front desk of the hotel in Ningguo City again to inquire, and the staff said that the person concerned had called the police, because the water was drunk in the car, which was a closed place, and everything was subject to the results of the police investigation.
On December 14, the reporter contacted the police station under the jurisdiction of the hotel, and the staff said that it was still being handled, and they would contact the parties if there was progress.
