The vendor who sold the cassava balls insisted nothing was wrong with them and ate a few to prove the point. Now she, too, is in critical condition...

..Eaten raw, the human digestive system will convert part of it into cyanide. Two cassava roots contain enough to be fatal.

next time, the vendor should cook it to a burnt crisp.....

I'm filipino so I mourn for the losses.

I feel sorry for all the kids, that have died, I will pray for them in the evening...

Dont get mad at me but, I think that the vendor owned herself, trying to prove to the people that nothing was wrong with them... just a point...

'Cause, you know, it would be completely non-tragic if it were a bunch of Chinese kids or African kids or something...

Anyway...
