More bad news
Parents of more than 25 students are grieving in Bohol today as 25 students died from food poisoning and more than 400 suffered stomach aches and then rushed or admitted to hospitals all over Tagbilaran City, Bohol’s capital. Doctors said that the children died of cyanide poisoning, where cyanide was produced by the digestive system after eating raw cassava. Cassava is a widely grown crop in the Philippines and is normally eaten boiled or sweetened. The Department of Health in Manila is yet to comment.
