Mysterious Disease Affects 95 Schoolgirls in Kenya, Cause Remains Unknown

A mysterious illness has raised concerns in Kenya as 95 female students at Eregi Girls’ High School in Kakamega, in the country’s west, have been affected. The illness has left these students unable to walk, with their blood, urine, and fecal samples sent to laboratories in Kisumu and Nairobi for testing. No conclusive findings have been reported yet. While some experts suggest it might be a case of “mass hysteria,” others speculate it could be Guillain-Barré syndrome. Education officials are addressing concerns, and classes continue for other students.
