⚫ Hyderabad tragic accident: Two sisters die after eating mango, was it laced with chemicals?
The Bitter End of a Sweet Fruit
As soon as summer arrives, mangoes become a household topic of conversation. Known as the "king of fruits," mangoes are loved by everyone. Whether children or the elderly, eating mangoes has its own unique joy. But when these same mangoes wreak havoc on someone's family, it forces us to wonder: are mangoes really as safe as we think?
A similar sensational and heartbreaking news has emerged from Hyderabad. Two innocent sisters lost their lives after eating mangoes. This incident serves as a stark warning not only for their families but for the entire nation. Let's explore the entire matter in detail in this article, as well as learn about the benefits and disadvantages of mangoes.
⚫ full story of tragic incident
Two sisters, 17-year-old Kumari and 10-year-old Neha, living in Hyderabad's Old City area, ate mangoes at home a few days ago. The entire family enjoyed the mangoes together, but soon after, both sisters' health began to deteriorate.
According to family members, about one to two hours after eating the mango, both of them began vomiting and having severe diarrhea. At first, the family assumed it was simple food poisoning and tried home remedies, but when their condition worsened, they were immediately taken to a nearby hospital.
Doctors at the hospital tried their best, but the lives of both innocent children were not saved. Doctors determined the cause of death to be acute food poisoning. The administration suspects that the mangoes either contained excessive chemicals (calcium carbide or other ripening chemicals) or were exposed to a toxic pesticide. Police have sent samples of the mangoes to a lab for testing.
This incident is so sensitive that a wave of mourning has spread across the entire city.
⚫ Are mangoes containing chemicals becoming fatal?
In our country, it's common to see chemicals like calcium carbide used to hasten the ripening of mangoes. These chemicals turn mangoes yellow, but they also become highly toxic in the process. Furthermore, if the amount of pesticides sprayed to protect crops from insects exceeds the recommended limit, they can stick to the surface of the fruit and won't be removed even after washing.
So when a child or adult eats these chemical-laden mangoes, their body reacts immediately. This reaction is even more severe in young children because their immune systems are weaker than those of adults.
Administration's advice: Avoid buying any fruit in summer.
First, inspect it thoroughly. The fruit should be naturally ripened without chemicals. Chemically ripened mangoes often appear yellow on the outside but are unripe or white on the inside.
