Posters on cyanide poisoning. konzo and wetting method

A coloured poster which described konzo and the wetting method to remove cyanide from cassava flour was originally produced by Dr Dulce Nhassico in Portuguese. This was translated into English and other languages. It was then modified to include a section on cyanide poisoning, which can result from a meal using bitter cassava (see Cyanide poisoning, cyanide diseases and stunting of children). The text has been translated into various languages and Mr Ian Denton in Canberra has incorporated the words into the original coloured poster. These laminated posters are available free of charge to be distributed in rural areas, particularly those in which cyanide poisoning and konzo occur.
