Dear Group Members,
In last few months thousands of children around the world have
been hospitalized due to Jatropha poisoning. After initial treatment
authorities have discharged them. As mentioned in previous mail,
Jatropha poisoning affects victim's mental status. In Chhattisgarh I
am interacting with victims. My friends are also engaged in these
interactions. Very recently during such interactions parents
complained that after poisoning children have became *dull* in daily
activity. In many places parents uprooted/cut Jatropha plants in
anger. Children who consumed 15-20 seeds are in poor mental status.
These are serious observations. As such poisoning happended throughout
India I request you to interact with victims and record their bad
experiences and effect on mental status. I feel that we must keep all
information on this aspect at one place for future reference.
If anyone wants to see this shocking interview with victims and their
parents, please write back to me for short film. We are in process of
adding it in youtube.
