Thousands of
people in Bangladesh are suffering from arsenic poisonings and more are being
affected everyday. Arsenicosis is caused
by drinking tube-well water containing arsenic. People who drink
uncontaminated water do not catch arsenicosis from affected people. The main
recommendation for the people who are affected by arsenic is to drink water
from a source that contains no arsenic.
The effects of
arsenicosis are less severe among people who eat a healthy, balanced diet,
ideally containing fish and vegetables. This is an initial treatment for
arsenicosis and may be part of the reason why the number of arsenicosis
patients in Bangladesh is still relatively low. It is believed that vitamins A,
C and E are effective for treatment of arsenicosis.
Poisoning by
arsenic is a slow process. It is due to a gradual build-up of the poison in the
human body. Eventually people start to show symtoms and become unwell. Deaths
due to long term poisoning make it even more important to address the problem
as soon as possible. This is in effect a race against time to safe water for
everyone. Many people corrently drinking arsenic-contaminated groundwater may
develop problems soon. They must attempt to find safe source of water.
