A woman suddenly died unexpecte...dly with signs
of bleeding from her ears, nose, mouth & eyes.
After a preliminary autopsy it was diagnosed that
death was due to arsenic poisoning.
Where did the arsenic come from?
The police launched an in-depth and extensive
investigation. A medical school professor was
invited to come to solve the case.
The professor carefully looked at the contents. In
less than half an hour, the mystery was solved.
The professor said: 'The deceased did not commit
suicide and neither was she murdered, she died of
accidental death due to ignorance!'
Everyone was puzzled, why accidental death?
The professor said: 'The arsenic was produced in
the stomach of the deceased.' The deceased used
to take 'Vitamin C' everyday, which in itself is not a
problem.
The problem was that she ate a large portion of
shrimp/prawn during dinner. Eating shrimp/prawn
is not the problem that's why nothing happened
to her family even though they had the same
shrimp/prawn. However at the same time the
deceased also took 'vitamin C', that is where the
problem was!
Researchers at the University of Chicago in the
United States , found through experiments, food
such as soft-shell contain much higher
concentration of five
potassium arsenic compounds.
Such fresh food by itself has no toxic effects on
the human body.
However, in taking 'vitamin C', chemical reaction
occurs and the original non-toxic elements change
to toxic elements.
Arsenic poisoning has magma role and can cause
paralysis to the small blood vessels. Therefore, a
person who dies of arsenic poisoning will show
signs of bleeding from the ears, nose, mouth &
eyes. Thus as a precautionary measure,
DO NOT eat shrimp/prawn when taking
'vitamin C'.
