Ate Colored Eggs Died from Poisoning
Milwaukee Journal | April 5, 1902

Marinette- Albert Bauer, aged 5, died of ptomaine poisoning, the result of eating colored Easter eggs.


Chad’s Take- Only in Wisconsin

I realize that Marinette, WI, is a bit away from the Chippewa Valley, but with Easter fast approaching I thought that story was simply too timely to pass up. While the article is short and sweet, the outcome was not, so make sure that you eat those colored eggs at your own risk.

Keep an eye out…
