Bridge – The High Command of Chemistry’s
experts made a field-trip to Ba To district in the central province of Quang
Ngai to learn about the strange skin disease on April 20-21.
They
collected water and soil samples for testing to consider whether environmental
impacts cause the disease or not.
Meanwhile,
the Ministry of Health has asked for a hand from the World Health Organization
(WHO) and the US Disease Control Agency.
According
to local residents, the disease appeared around five years ago, when they found
out an unknown chemical in the region. They buried the chemical.
Experts
from the High Command of Chemistry searched for the chemical under the
assistance of local people.
The
Health Department of Quang Ngai province reported that from April 19, 2011 to
April 15, 2012, there were 171 patients in six communes of Ba To district. Ba
Dien commune had the highest number of patients, with 161 people, including 8
fatal cases.
The
number of patients is increasing, causing worry among local people. Some
families left their home to avoid the bizarre disease.
