Description
More than 50 fisherman in Guinea have been hospitalised with an unknown skin ailment, believed to be caused by "a chemical burn due to contact with a corrosive agent that appeared on the high seas", says plastic surgeon, Dr. Karamba Kaba. Some fisherman returned from fishing with faces, mouths and limbs covered in pimples and lesions. "When we finished pulling the nets, I saw that some of them had spots on their bodies," says a local boat captain. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES ARRANGED IN SEQUENCES N°33DT7ZB
