Residents of the Changwame area, Mombasa County, have been left in fear after a mysterious disease claimed the lives of at least four people in a span of one week.
According to local residents, the victims were found dead in their homes. Their bodies displayed abnormal characteristics, such as boil-like sores, darker skin that looked burnt and was peeling, and a foul odour.
Residents claim cases of the mysterious illness have been gradually rising, with some fearing that the disease could spread further if immediate action is not taken.
According to reports, a team from the Mombasa County Department of Health is conducting investigations to uncover the exact cause and nature of the disease.
"It is like an outbreak of unknown diseases, when someone dies, the body swells, the skin turns black, and the bodies emit very bad smells. People are panicking right now because you don't know who is next," one resident said.
"When you look at the bodies of those who have died of the disease, their bodies look like they are burned. And some people have gotten sick and are in the hospitals," another resident said.
