A kindergarten teacher in China's Henan province has been detained after she allegedly poisoned 23 children by putting nitrite into their food.
Eating nitrite in high amounts can lead to increased heart rates, headaches, vomiting and even death.
Nitrite is used in fertilizers and even explosives.
The victims who were all students fell ill after eating porridge supplied by the school.
