Improperly prepared cassava can be toxic itself, or it could have been contaminated with a poison.

Food Poisoning Soubré / Three new deaths

Posted on 13-10-2010 | North South Daily

Food poisoning, sounded in the night from Sunday 10th to Monday, October 11 continues to claim victims. Indeed, the number of deaths increased from 5 to 8 with the victim as a big family head Diarrassouba Bakary, 52, her daughter Diarrasouba Assetou aged 8 years and son Diarrassouba Mory Ba, 11. According to the spokesman of the victim's family is all part of a meal at mid-day Sunday, the "Kabato" meal of cassava very popular among the Malinke, accompanied by peanut sauce base. According to him after the meal, members of the family Diarrassouba began to complain of stomach pains and diarrhea to high. And from 22 hours, some family members have passed from life to death to reach the sorry record of 8 dead-headed families. Four other [patients are in] hospitals are in bad shape, including one in a critical state. Importantly says Sangare, only the second wife of Mr. Diarrassouba and his second son away from home during dinner do not suffer any pain. As for Mr. Koffi Ocho, a pediatrician in charge of monitoring of patients poisoned, the situation is serious and worrying. On arrival, the intoxicated all had the same signs ie agitation, vomiting and diarrhea. "We found a food poisoning due to the meal the night before on Sunday around 13 hours. The irony is that since Sunday to 16 hours when the discomfort started, it was only on Monday at 7:30 am they came to our services. This long delay before the management has complicated matters. And when we talk, we can not make any diagnosis because ignoring the nature of the substance to the basis of intoxication. We even decided to evacuate them to Abidjan for care in a center because we have not adapted structures adapted to these kinds of cases, while the situation is very worrying, "he said. Pending the results of the analysis, speculation is rife. For some of the little woman Diarrassouba would be the basis for the death of her husband and her children, while others are mystical causes of this tragedy.
