On Yahoo news it said the fast is sunrise to sunset. They had food and water. Six hundred to seven hundred were effected, but there were conflicting reports that eleven died. They are testing the food and water.
I looked up what Jim Jones mixed in the drink back in the 80's for the mass suicide of that cult. It contained cyanide and valium. Cyanide would cause foaming of the mouth, possibly mixed with blood. That worked rapidly, but it didn't cause the symptoms reported of bleeding ears and of bleeding through the mouth. I don't know. Maybe once they test the food, we will know more.

On Yahoo news it said the fast is sunrise to sunset. Sunrise and sunset are defined as when you can distinguish the difference between a black thread and a white one. Well before and well after what we regard as sunrise and sunset.
Especially nice when it's 118° in the shade, and there is no shade...
