Congo Mystery Illness – Water Contamination Suspected

Initial cases were linked to bat consumption, but the primary cause remains undetermined. Remote locations and resident fear are hindering access and investigation. Symptoms include fever, body aches, neurological signs, and gastrointestinal issues

Authorities investigating the deaths of at least 60 people in northwestern Congo suspect the water source in one of the areas may have been contaminated, the World Health Organization said Friday. But the agency said it's too early for any definitive conclusion.
