Mysterious disease in Kayar: A fish meal factory pointed at

We know a little more about the mysterious disease that appeared in Kayar, a locality located in the department of Thiès and 58 km north of the region of Dakar. According to Seneweb sources, people have pointed to a fishmeal manufacturing plant that emits a foul odor. This factory, installed 5 months ago, has started its activities and operates from midnight to 6 a.m.

The first thesis advanced was that related to the water consumed in the locality. But this thesis was quickly abandoned since other localities in the vicinity consume the same water and show no symptoms.

As a reminder, the symptoms of the mysterious disease are diarrhea and vomiting. The disease, the origin of which is still unknown, mainly attacks pregnant women and children.

Cayar / Supposedly dangerous disease: "There is nothing mysterious about it, people with the disease generally do well after treatment" (Dr Malick Badiane)

More fear than harm concerning the mysterious and dangerous disease which appeared in Cayar (Thiès). Indeed, according to the chief medical officer of the district of Pout, Doctor Malick Badiane, "it is a disease which manifests itself by diarrhea and vomiting".

The samples, he says, showed neuroviruses and saprophytic salmonella, probably linked to food hygiene problems. Also, for him, the concerns of the populations indexing the water and the fishmeal factory are unfounded. There is no connection, he confirms, with the borehole water.

According to him, "sufferers are generally doing very well after treatment".
