Twelve sequential cases of arsenic poisoning were reviewed for possible sources of ingestion. Contaminated illicit whiskey (moonshine) appeared to be the source in approximately 50% of the patients. An analysis of.confiscated moonshine revealed that occasional specimens contained high levels of arsenic as a contaminant. Although arsenic poisoning occurs relatively infrequently, contaminated moonshine may be an important cause of the poisoning in some areas of the country.
回顾了12例连续的砷中毒病例，以寻找可能的摄入来源。受污染的非法威士忌（私酿酒）似乎是约50%患者中毒的源头。对查获的私酿酒进行分析发现，偶尔有样本含有高浓度的砷作为污染物。尽管砷中毒相对不常见，但受污染的私酿酒可能是该国某些地区中毒的一个重要原因。
