All known patients recovered with normal care, with an average hospital stay of 9 days. In a controlled study, subjects were injected with cannabiniods, but no adverse effects were observed. Contamination, perhaps from the cotton used to strain the liquid, was suggested as a cause for the illnesses.[cite journal]
