In Kherraza, bald disease scares off children

Monday 03 July 2017

Crazy rumors spread like wildfire over a dangerous epidemic that would have "swept" the region of Kherraza, one of the most populated regions of the Annaba wilaya, causing a real psychosis among the population . Several districts of the city were on alert after the circulation of an "information" on an alleged affection that would have affected a large number of children. "The latter," the authors of the catastrophe scenario, "would have been infected by hairdressers, from where they would have undergone bald spots on the scalp accompanied by pimples on all the rest of the body." The rumor was not limited to the observation . The diagnosis was even established and it is peddled that "this strange disease is contagious, by simple contact". Emergencies did not register stronger than usual arrivals. Nevertheless, analyzes are carried out by laboratory technicians to discover the causes of this "epidemic".
