Database of poisoning incidents - can you provide information?
Category: Pesticides, carbofuran | Date: May 15 2008 | By: Martin Odino
I’m collating information on incidents of use of carbofuran and other poisons to deliberately or accidentally kill wildlife in Kenya, to develop a database that can be used as evidence in the debate on whether carbofuran should be controlled / banned in this county, and as a permanent catalogue. If you know of any poisoning incident that may have involved carbofuran or other poisons, in any part of Kenya, could you please contact me at jophieclark@googlemail.com. I am interested in any level of information, ranging from anecdotal reports to cases that have been confirmed by laboratory testing. Confidentiality and data ownership will be respected. Jophie

I have an incident reported on Baraza - my computer was poisoned after I handled it after touching a Furadan packet which I was assured did not leak! I was held up at the USA embassy for hours because my computer was setting off alarms, when I asked if carbofuran could have done this they ordred me to leave and return with out it!
