“People go bald over mysery illness”
A new mystery virus has left hundreds of people bald, including children.
Health officials in the Indian district of Buldhana have been left baffled after hundreds of villagers suddenly started losing their hair.
The strange virus has been found across 15 villages in the region, and is thought to start with intense itching of the scalp.
It then takes just two to three days before complete hair loss – with 150 men, women and children said to have lost their hair so far.
It has been dubbed the “baldness virus.”
The villages are all located near the Purna river basin, which is known for having poor water quality, including excessive fluoride content.
However the exact cause of the mystery virus is unknown.
