can be little doubt about the pertinent facts.
This tank had been idle for one month after pump down and
leaning.
Three casual employees entered the tank to clean it weari
work clothing and barefooted. One man did not leave the tank
but ate his lunch in the tank and then slept in the tank^until
returned. He probably spent a total of not more than four hou
tank.
The interesting features of this illness are period of e
rabidity of onset, rapidity of increase in symptoms after onse
shqrt period of illness until death.
