Palm Island mystery disease : ウィキペディア英語版 | Palm Island mystery disease
In 1979 an outbreak of hepatoenteritis, also known as the ''Palm Island mystery disease'', was reported and described a hepatitis-like illness (associated in many cases with dehydration and bloody diarrhoea) in 148 people (138 children and 10 adults) of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander descent in Palm Island, Queensland. ==Causes== The cause of the outbreak was determined to be the addition of excessive doses of copper sulfate to the water supply of Solomon Dam to target a cyanobacteria bloom of ''Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii''. The excessive dosing was following the use of least-cost contractors to control the algae, who were unqualified in the field. Toxins from the cyanobacteria itself had also been described as a possible cause. Early suggestions included Toxocariasis.
