SCABIES.
Scabies is a parasitic infection caused by tiny mites called Sarcoptes scabiei, that burrow into the skin and lay eggs, causing intense itching and a rash.

SYMPTOMS
severe itch on the fingers, wrists, arms, legs and belt area.

Bumps on male ge****ls and female breasts;

Rash on the palms, soles of the feet, ankles and scalp in infants and small children.

PREVENTION
Treating scabies as soon as possible is the best way to prevent outbreaks.

Avoid skin-to-skin contact with an infected person, especially if they have an itchy rash.

Treat all members of the household if someone has scabies to prevent the mites from spreading to others.

Wash and dry bedding and clothing that has been in contact with the infected person, using hot water and drying in direct sunlight.

Seal items that can’t be washed in a plastic bag for a week to help eliminate the mites. Because, the mites that cause scabies usually die after 2–3 days away from human skin.

Use vacuum cleaners or sweep rooms after an infected person has been treated.

TREATMENT
Scabies can be treated with topical creams that are applied to the whole body except the face includes;
5% permethrin cream.
0.5% malathion in aqueous base.
10–25% benzyl benzoate emulsion.
5–10% sulphur ointment.

Oral medication for scabies includes;
Ivermectin(Mectizan) dosage is 4tablets once a week for 3weeks.
Antihistamine such as Loratadine or Cetirizine taken 1bd to reduce Itching.

All the treatment above should not be taken by pregnant women or children who weigh less than 15 kg.

PROSTATE CANCER

Prostate Cancer is the increase in size of the prostate in Men, that blocks the flow of urine through the urethra.

The prostate gland surrounds the urethra which is the tube through which urine flow out of the body.

The prostate gland produces Seminal Fluid. The end product of Seminal fluid plus S***m is Semen.

The prostate helps to move urine out of the body.
It also moves semen through the p***s during ej*******on.

As men grow older the prostate gland becomes enlarged leading to what is called Prostate Cancer.

CAUSES OF PROSTRATE CANCER.
1) Old Age (common as you get older).

2) Ethnicity (common in Black men than in White men).

3) Family history.

4) Inherited faulty genes.

5) Obesity and been Overweight.

6) Being too tall.

7) High Hormones.

8) Pesticides.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF PROSTRATE CANCER
1) Frequent urination.

2) Painful Urination.

3) Weak Urine flow.

4) Inability to empty the bladder during urination.

5) Difficulty in starting urination.

6) Dripping after urination.

7) Blood in the urine

8) Reduced Sexual Performance.

9) Lower Back Pain

10) Pelvic Discomfort

COMPLICATIONS OF PROSTRATE CANCER IF LEFT UNTREATED.
1. Sudden inability to urinate.

2. Urinary Tract Infections (UTI’s).

3. Bladder stones.

4. Blood in the urine.

5. Bladder damage.

6. Kidney Damage.

PREVENTION OF PROSTRATE CANCER
1) Maintain a Healthy Weight

2) Eat a Healthy diet Such as Tomato, Pomegranate Juice, Broccoli, Green Tea, Fatty fish, Legumes, Soybeans etc

3) Exercise Regularly

4) Limit or stop eating Red meat, Diary products (such as milk, cheese, yogurt, and butter), Cereal (such as Goldenmorn, Cornflakes etc), Canned foods (Sardine, Baked beans, Cooked Corn), Processed foods (Pastas, Bread, Snacks)
Refined Sugar.

5) Stop Smoking and drinking Alcohol

TREATMENT FOR PROSTATE CANCER.
There are several drugs that can treat prostate conditions, including benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer:

1) Alpha blockers:
These drugs relax the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, which can make it easier to urinate. Some common alpha blockers include:
Alfuzosin (Uroxatral)
Doxazosin (Cardura)
Tamsulosin (Flomax)
Silodosin (Rapaflo)
Terazosin (Hytrin)

2) Mitoxantrone:
This chemotherapy drug is used to treat advanced prostate cancer. It's administered intravenously in a hospital or clinic setting.

3) Cabazitaxel:
This chemotherapy drug can help men live longer by shrinking prostate cancer or slowing its growth. It can also reduce symptoms.

4) Tadalafil:
This drug is primarily prescribed to treat erectile dysfunction and BPH. It works by increasing blood flow to help men get and maintain an er****on.

5) Sildenafil:
This is a medicine used to treat er****on problems (erectile dysfunction). It works temporarily by increasing blood flow to your p***s when you get sexually excited.

6) Radiation therapy
Radiation therapy is a common treatment for prostate cancer that uses high-energy radiation to kill cancer cells.

7) Prostatectomy:
The surgical removal of the entire prostate gland, which is the exact organ prostate cancer attacks.

8) Hormonal therapy:
hormone therapy for prostate cancer that aims to change the hormonal signals that cause prostate tumors to grow.

9) Chemotherapy:
The use of anti-cancer drugs to destroy cancer cells by circulating through the bloodstream.

10) Immunotherapy:
This is a treatment that helps a patient's immune system fight cancer cells through the use of Vaccines etc

DIABETES
Diabetes is a chronic condition where the body has difficulty regulating or controlling blood sugar (glucose). Thereby leading to high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) or Low Blood Sugar (hypoglycemia).

Types of Diabetes
1. Type 1 Diabetes
2. Type 2 Diabetes
3. Gestational Diabetes

High Blood Glucose/Sugar (Hyperglycemia):
This is a condition where blood glucose/Sugar levels are higher than 126mg/dL (7.0mmol/L) for Fasting Blood Sugar(FBS) and 140mg/dL (7.8mmol/L) for Random Blood Sugar (RBS)

Hyperglycemia = too much sugar in blood.

Causes:

Diabetes Type 1 or Diabetes Type 2

Skipping insulin or diabetes medication

Eating too much carbohydrate/sugar

Stress, infection, or illness

Lack of exercise

Symptoms:

Excessive thirst

Frequent urination

Fatigue/weakness

Blurred vision

Headache

Confusion

Fruity-smelling breath

Rapid breathing

Excessive Hunger

Unexplained Weight Loss

Slow healing Wounds/Injury.

Frequent Infection.

Treatment of Hyperglycemia (High Blood Sugar)

Administer insulin Injection, Metformin and Glibenclamide tablets.

Increase fluid intake → water helps flush out excess glucose.

Eat a healthy diet.

Regular exercise.

Monitor blood glucose frequently.

Treat the underlying cause (e.g., infection, missed doses, stress).

Low Blood Glucose/Sugar (Hypoglycemia):
This is a condition where blood glucose levels drop below 54mg/dL (3.0mmol/L) for FBS and 63mg/dL(3.5mmol/L) RBS.
Hypoglycemia = Too little sugar in blood.

Causes:

Too much intake of insulin Injection, Metformin or Glibenclamide tablets.

Skipping meals or not eating enough

Excessive exercise without enough food

Alcohol intake without food

Symptoms:

Shakiness/trembling

Sweating

Hunger

Irritability or anxiety

Dizziness

Headache

Blurred vision

Confusion

Seizures

Loss of consciousness

Treatment of Hypoglycemia (Low Blood Sugar)

If conscious, Use the “15–15 Rule” by giving the patient 15g Measurement of fast acting carbohydrates. Such as;
3–4 glucose tablets, Glucose Powder or Glucose Gel.

Sugary Drink such as half cup of fruit juice(Orange/Apple Juice) or regular soda (Coke, Sprite, Pepsi)

1 tablespoon sugar dissolved in water.

Honey

White bread or white rice (less ideal but still fast-acting)

Wait 15 minutes → recheck blood sugar.

If still low, repeat the process again.

If unconscious, Do not give food/drink by mouth.

Administer glucagon injection if available.

Seek emergency medical help.

Adjust insulin/medication dose.

Eat regular meals/snacks.

Avoid skipping meals.

Carry glucose tablets/candy.

GLUCOMETER.

A glucometer is a portable medical device used to measure the concentration of glucose (sugar) in the blood. It is commonly used by people with diabetes to monitor and manage their blood sugar levels at home.

Parts of a Glucometer

1. Meter – the main device with a digital screen.

2. Test strips – disposable strips that collect the blood sample.

3. Lancet – a small needle used to prick the skin (usually fingertip) for a drop of blood.

4. Control buttons & memory – to store previous readings.

How to Use a Glucometer

1. Wash and dry your hands.

2. Insert a test strip into the glucometer.

3. Use the lancet to prick the fingertip (or alternate site).

4. Place a drop of blood on the strip.

5. The meter a**lyzes it and displays the blood glucose level within seconds.

Normal Blood Sugar Range

Fasting (before meals):
54 -126 mg/dL (3.0–7.0 mmol/L)

Random Blood Sugar Range (2 hours after meals):
63 -140 mg/dL (3.5 - 7.8 mmol/L)

N:B
Divide Numbers in mg/dL by 18 to convert to mmol/L

Importance of a Glucometer

Helps detect hyperglycemia (high sugar) and hypoglycemia (low sugar).

Help to guide the adjustment of diet, exercise, and medication.

Prevents complications (kidney damage, blindness, nerve damage, heart disease).

Encourages patients to take charge of their own care.

MEASUREMENT OF BLOOD PRESSURE.
Systolic and diastolic are the two numbers you see in a blood pressure reading, for example 90/60mmHg to 120/80mmHg.

🔹 Systolic Pressure (the top number)

This is the pressure in your arteries when the heart contracts and pumps blood out.

It shows how much force your blood exerts on artery walls during a heartbeat.

Normal systolic: 90mmHg to 120mmHg

🔹 Diastolic Pressure (the bottom number)

This is the pressure in your arteries when the heart relaxes between beats.

It shows the resistance of the blood vessels at rest.

Normal diastolic: 60mmHg to 80mmHg

👉 Example:
If your BP is 120/80 mmHg

120 = systolic (heart pumping)

80 = diastolic (heart resting)

HYPERTENSION (HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE)
High blood pressure (hypertension) is usually diagnosed when:

Systolic is greater than or equal to 140 mmHg

Diastolic is greater than or equal to 90 mmHg.

Hypertension is the increase of blood pressure above the normal range.

Hypertension happens when pressure is too high and damages organs over time.

Normal Range: 90/60mmHg to 120/80 mmHg

Hypertension Range: ≥140/90 mmHg (or ≥130/80 mmHg for patients with diabetes or kidney disease).

Causes of Hypertension
kidney disease
High Cholesterol
Obesity
High salt intake
Lack of exercise
Stress
Smoking
Family history
Alcohol
Old age.

Symptoms of Hypertension.
Headaches.
Dizziness.
Chest pain.
Shortness of breath.
Blurred vision.

Complications of Hypertension.
Stroke
Heart attack
Heart failure
Kidney damage
Vision problems.

Management Of Hypertension.
Low-salt diet
Exercise
Weight control
Avoid alcohol
Avoid smoking
Stress management.

Medications for Hypertension
1. Diuretics Such as hydrochlorothiazide(Normoretic), furosemide(Nkoyosix/Frusatex),

2. ACE inhibitors (Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme) Such as Lisinopril 5mg or 10mg, Ramipril, Benazepril.

3. ARBs(Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers) Such as Losartan, Valsartan, Telmisartan.

4. Calcium Channel Blockers Such as Amlodipine 5mg/10mg, Nifedipine.

5. Beta blockers Such as atenolol, metoprolol, propranolol,

6. Centrally-acting alpha-2 adrenergic agonist such as Methyldopa 250mg

HYPOTENSION (LOW BLOOD PRESSURE)
Low blood pressure (hypotension) is usually diagnosed when:

Systolic is lower than or equal to 85mmHg

Diastolic is lower than or equal to 55 mmHg

Hypotension is an abnormally low blood pressure, when it is generally below or less than 85/55mmHg.

Hypotension occurs when pressure is too low and organs don’t get enough blood which may cause collapse or shock.

Causes of Hypotension.
Dehydration.
Blood loss.
Severe infection.
Heart problems.
Medications (e.g., antihypertensives, diuretics).

Symptoms of Hypotension.
Dizziness.
Fainting.
Blurred vision.
Nausea.
Fatigue.
Shock.

Management of Hypotension.
Hydration
Increase salt intake
Gradual posture changes.

WHO IS A NURSE

A Nurse is a Person who Nourishes, Cares, and Protects the Sick, Injured and Aged Patients.

A good nurse must be studious, observant and extremely professional with her work.

A good Nurse must be Patient, flexible and tolerant and must show warmth and empathy toward their Patient.

Nurses should be able to perform the following routine test properly.
Such as;
1) Blood pressure check
2) Blood Sugar Test
3) Pulse Check

And other test like;
HIV/AID TEST
MALARIA TEST
TYPHOID TEST
PREGNANCY URINE TEST
PREGNANCY BLOOD TEST

The requirement to become a good Nurse is an extensive one and half year to four years of Study and practical training.

A good Nurse must be Open Minded and must possess the ability to get on well with their Colleagues, Customers, Patients and Bosses.

You must love People and really want to medically help people around you and also been able to cope with Stress because in the Nursing World it's either you put your all or you go home. It's not a profession for the Weak Hearted.

The Joy of been a Nurse is the expression of appreciation we receive from Patients and their Families when they recover from Illnesses(Sickness) and regain their Health.

Too whom much is given, much is expected. Because along the Joy of Nursing also comes many challenges. There's no room for Mistakes when prescribing or administering Medications, Inserting Intravenous devices and Intramuscular injections.

A Nurse must be extremely careful, because you can't afford to be careless and this is true in Countries where Litigation(Court Cases) on Wrong prescription and dosaging, Allergies gotten from Medicine, Swollen Buttocks and Hands from mishandling of Injections etc.
So, it's in your best interest to do your job well.

Throughout History, many Outstanding NURSES have made great impacts in the respective Careers throughout the World.
Notable names include;

1) Elizabeth of Hungary in Europe(Daughter of King Andrew II) arranged for Hospitals to be built and organized food distribution during famine(Food Scarcity) in 1226. She died at 24years of age.

2) Florence Nightingale who attended Institution of Protestant Deaconesses at Kaiser-Werth, Germany. She reorganized the Military Hospital during the Crimean War of 1853 - 1856 and reduced mortality(Death) rate from 60% to 2%.

3) Agnes Karl founded the Professional Organization for German Nurses in 1903 for the Nursing Profession to be respected.

The World Health Organization (WHO) As of May 2024, estimates that there are over 29 million Nurses and 2.2 million midwives worldwide.

Nursing is an everlasting profession. So long as humanity exists, there will always be a need for caring, compassion and Understanding. No matter the growth and influence of technology, no Machine can ever replace a Nurse's touch and Compassion.

The World should be grateful for all the attention given and Sacrifices made by millions of Nurses around the World.

WARTS

Warts are non harmful(non-cancerous) growths that can develop on your skin and mucosa (inside your mouth). The human papilloma virus (HPV) causes warts. There are over 100 subtypes (strains) of HPV, but only a few types can cause warts on certain parts of your body.

Warts are generally harmless and they can become bothersome when they affect your self-esteem or sometimes painful by making it difficult to do everyday things like walking or wearing shoes.

Warts are common. They affect approximately 10% of the worldwide population.

They’re even more common in school-aged children, affecting 10% to 20% of this age group. Warts are also more likely to affect people who are immunocompromised and people who handle raw meat regularly (like butchers).

TYPES OF WARTS
1) Common warts (Verrucca vulgaris): Common warts typically appear on your hands. They most often feel like rough bumps and can have black dots that look like seeds. The black dots are actually smothered and dead capillaries. They range from the size of a pinhead to the size of a pea.

2) Plantar warts: Planter warts typically form on your feet, especially the soles (plantar surface) of your feet. They’re often flat or grow inward and can have black dots. They can become quite large and cause pain when you stand or walk.

3) Mosaic warts: These warts are white and about the size of a pinhead. They typically form on the balls of your feet or under your toes. But they can spread and cover larger areas of your foot. Mosaic warts are flatter than plantar warts, and they only rarely hurt when you walk.

4) Flat warts: These warts can develop anywhere on your body. They’re smaller and smoother than other warts and tend to grow in large numbers, like 20 to 100 at a time.

5) Filiform warts: These warts look like long threads that stick out. They often grow on your face — around your mouth, eyes and nose.

6) Ge***al warts: These warts affect your ge****ls and re**um (a**l warts). It’s a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that gets passed through skin-to-skin contact. Ge***al warts are small, hard nodules with rough surfaces.

7) Butcher’s warts: These warts tend to develop on the hands of people who handle raw meat (like butchers) and those whose occupation involves frequent exposure to a cold, moist environment.

8) Focal epithelial hyperplasia (Heck’s disease): This is a rare condition in which warts develop inside your mouth (on the mucosa). The warts are generally soft and whiteish to mucosal-colored.

Appearance of Warts
Warts vary in appearance based on the type. They may look:

Dome-shaped.

Flat.

Rough.

Bumpy or cauliflower-like.

Smooth.

Thread- or finger-like.

Skin-colored, brown, grey or black. Like they have small black or brownish dots.

They range in size from 1 millimeter to a couple of centimeters. You may have just one wart or several in the same area.

Causes of WARTS

Certain strains of the human papilloma virus (HPV) cause warts. The virus can enter your skin through small cuts and cause extra cell growth. The outer layer of your skin turns thicker and harder, forming a wart. Warts are more likely to infect moist and soft skin or injured skin.

All warts come from HPV, but not all forms of HPV cause warts. The type of HPV that can progress to cancer (like cervical cancer) doesn’t cause warts

Are warts contagious?
Yes, warts are contagious because HPV is contagious.
Warts can spread through direct or indirect contact. Direct contact would be touching someone else’s wart or skin-to-skin contact. An example of indirect contact is using objects like towels or razors that have come into contact with a wart or HPV.

PREVENTION OF WARTS

There’s no sure way to prevent warts. But you can lower your risk of picking up the virus that causes them by taking these steps:
1) Don’t touch another person’s wart.

2) Don’t share towels, washcloths, clothing, nail clippers, razors or other personal items.

3) Don’t bite your nails or pick at cuticles.

4) Keep your skin moisturized (not dry and cracked) and protect cuts. HPV can easily enter cracked or broken skin.

5) Talk to your healthcare provider about the HPV vaccine (it’s typically for kids and young adults), and use condoms to prevent ge***al warts.

6) Wear flip-flops or shoes when using a public locker room, pool area or showers.

If you have a wart, do the following to help keep it from spreading:
Cover it with a bandage.

Try not to scratch, cut or pick at it.

Wash your hands immediately after you touch it.

Avoid shaving over the wart.

Keep your feet dry to prevent the spread of plantar warts.

TREATMENT OF WARTS
Warts often go away on their own, but this can take up to two years. Because warts can spread, cause pain and affect your day-to-day life, your healthcare provider may recommend treatment. Options include:

Over-the-counter (OTC) products: Podophylin Paint/Cream and Other products containing salicylic acid. This chemicals dissolves warts one layer at a time.
These products come in liquid, gel and patch form. You may need to apply the medication every day for several months to get rid of the wart completely. Salicylic acid for common warts has cure rates of 50% to 70%.

Medical topical treatments: Your healthcare provider may apply a liquid mixture containing the chemical cantharidin to a wart. A blister forms under the wart and cuts off its blood supply. You must return to your provider’s office in about a week so they can remove the dead wart.

Medical freezing: During a procedure called cryotherapy, your provider applies liquid nitrogen to freeze the wart. Eventually, the wart may peel off. You may need several treatments.

Other wart treatments
If the wart hasn’t cleared up with conservative treatments, your provider may recommend more invasive treatments, like:

Immunotherapy: Immunotherapy helps your immune fight the virus that causes warts. One type of this treatment is using a topical chemical, such as diphencyprone (DCP). DCP causes a mild allergic reaction that may make the wart go away.

Surgical removal: Your provider may cut out the wart to remove it. This can leave a scar.

Laser treatment: Your provider uses laser light to heat and destroy tiny blood vessels inside the wart. The process cuts off the blood supply, killing the wart. This can cause scarring.

Electrosurgery: This treatment involves burning away the wart tissue using a specially designed heated needle. Scarring is possible.

HOME REMEDIES
Certain at-home remedies may help you get rid of warts, like covering the wart with duct tape and over-the-counter products. Never try to cut or rip a wart by yourself. This can lead to infection and other health issues. Only healthcare providers should surgically remove warts.

Can warts go away on their own?
Yes, about 65% of warts go away on their own after two years. This mainly applies to people who have healthy immune systems. If you’re immunocompromised, warts probably won’t go away on their own.

09/05/2024

HICCUPS

Hiccups, or hiccoughs, are involuntary sounds made by spasms of the diaphragm. The diaphragm is a large sheet of muscle slung beneath the lungs that, together with the intercostal muscles, causes us to breathe. The muscular spasm of these muscles sucks air into the lungs, and the quick inhalation makes a structure inside the throat (called the epiglottis) slam shut. (The epiglottis is a flap of tissue that closes over the windpipe during swallowing to prevent the inhalation of food, fluids or saliva.) This sharp closure of the epiglottis causes the characteristic ‘hic’ sound of hiccups.

Generally, hiccups resolve by themselves after a few minutes, but prolonged hiccups that last for days or weeks may be symptomatic of underlying disorders. Certain drugs, including epilepsy medications, can make a person more prone to hiccups.

Symptoms of hiccups

The symptoms of hiccups include:

A sharp contraction or spasm of the diaphragm that is felt just below the breastbone.
Air is involuntarily sucked into the throat.
The closing epiglottis makes a ‘hic’ sound.
Hiccups usually stop after a few minutes.

Cause of hiccups
The muscular activity of the diaphragm is controlled by nerves. Hiccups occur when particular stimuli trigger the nerves to send the diaphragm into spasms. It is not known why this occurs.

CAUSES OF HICCUP
The cause of hiccups is often unknown and there may be no apparent trigger. Various triggers, particularly those that cause pressure on the diaphragm, are known to prompt an attack of hiccups in some people from time to time. Some of these triggers include:

food too quickly

or spicy foods



of alcohol

or Carbonated drinks

smoking



odours

.

SELF HELP STRATEGIES
Hiccups are harmless and usually resolve by themselves in a few minutes. Some hiccup ‘cures’ include:

your breath

deep breaths

into a paper bag

a bit of fresh ginger

on a lemon

a hot water and honey drink

a spoonful of sugar

a glass of water slowly

ice



down and lean forward over your knees

someone to give you a fright

Hiccups may be symptomatic of disease

Hiccups that last for days, weeks or even years may be symptomatic of underlying disease. Certain lung or brain disorders can sometimes interfere with the functioning of the diaphragm and make the person prone to hiccups. Hiccups may also be a side effect of surgery or particular medications.

Some of the diseases, conditions and drugs that may prompt frequent or prolonged attacks of hiccups include:

(inflammation of the oesophagus)

overactive thyroid gland

(inflammation of the membrane surrounding the lungs)
(inflammation of the lungs)

disease

damage, such as stroke or tumour, that affects the area of the brain which controls the diaphragm

surgery

surgery

epilepsy medications

****ne gum

MEDICAL TREATMENT
Various agents have been reported to cure hiccups.

Chlorpromazine appears to be the drug of choice.

Haloperidol

metoclopramide have been used successfully.

Several anticonvulsant agents (eg, phenytoin, valproic acid, and carbamazepine) have effectively treated intractable hiccups in typical anticonvulsant doses.

Gabapentin has been effective in patients with central nervous system (CNS) lesions and in some other groups.

Of the anesthetic agents, ketamine has been the most successful.

Baclofen is particularly useful in patients for whom other agents are contraindicated.

Lidocaine has cured patients after other agents were unsuccessful.

Other reportedly beneficial agents include;
muscle relaxants,
sedatives,
a**lgesics,
stimulants,
and various miscellaneous agents e.g,
edrophonium,
dexamethasone,
amantadine,
nifedipine.

Prolonged hiccups should be medically investigated. Treatment options for underlying disorder may include:

Changes to current drug dosages

Switching to another form of ni****ne therapy

Anti-spasmodic drugs to calm the diaphragm

A tube inserted into the nose (nasogastric intubation)

A nerve block

Surgery, to sever some of the nerves servicing the diaphragm.

*PLEASE BE CAREFUL, IGNORANCE IS NOT AN EXCUSE*.

*Empty bottles of water and cans used by patients in hospitals are being packed by the cleaners while they clean the environment.*
*In the course of discarding the empty bottles of water and cans from a discharged patient, an attendant discovered that one of the kegs had saliva inside, meaning the patient was salivating into one of the bottles.This patient had tuberculosis(TB).*
*This also is applicable to other hospitals around the globe. Some patients even urinate inside the containers.These patients may have HIV, Hepatitis and other infections diseases.*

*Now my worry is, the women who pack these empty bottles of water and cans do sell them to people who make Zobo, Tiger nut drinks, Kunu etc. Victims buy and consume it unaware of the sources of the containers.*
*A consumer buys #50 or probably #100 worth of drink with his or her own money and end up having a life threatening disease or even an ailments that could take his or her life if not well treated out of carelessness.*
*The cycle keeps going. Let's be guided.*
*Even bottled groundnut is not exempted.*
