NEW DELHI (AP) — At least one person has died and 200 others have been hospitalized due to an unidentified illness in the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, reports said Monday.

The illness was detected Saturday evening in Eluru, an ancient city famous for its hand-woven products. Since then, patients have experienced symptoms ranging from nausea and anxiety to loss of consciousness, doctors said.

A 45-year-old man who was hospitalized with symptoms similar to epilepsy and nausea died Sunday evening, the Press Trust of India news agency reported.

Officials are trying to determine the cause of the illness. So far, water samples from impacted areas haven’t shown any signs of contamination, and the chief minister's office said people not linked to the municipal water supply have also fallen ill. The patients are of different ages and have tested negative for COVID-19 and other viral diseases such as dengue, chikungunya or herpes.

Not sure how anxiety is a symptom of a disease.

Maybe this is SUPER Covid-19.

It’s India. A filthy, disgusting shithole of a country.

Now go bathe in the Ganges River.

India—where having a solid BM is cause for celebration. While working there over 6 weeks, my immune system and lower GI did things I never thought possible. They had to as we were under orders not to take Kaopectate to avoid a much worse situation of perforated colons from the unflushed gut bugs.

I was talking to a guy who’s a FedEx international pilot and asked him which place he hates to fly. He said Mumbai, as soon as you hit 20,000 feet on the descent, it just smells awful.

“Well considering their health habits.”

First thing I though of, what with them crapping all over the place including the rivers they drink out of.
