Mozambique: Dozens Drop Down Dead After Drinking Crocodile Juice

Mozambique government officials gather samples from a drum that was used to brew traditional local beer that killed 69 people in Tete on Jan 12.

At least 72 Negroids in Mozambique died over the weekend, apparently from drinking home brew laced with a local delicacy known to the west as crocodile bile.

Hundreds of the creatures have been dropping like flies from the grog, which was served at a funeral and left at least 169 primates requiring treatment.

As the bodies starting piling up, it was discovered that the manufacturer of the beer was also one of the casualties and thus unable to answer questions as to the ingredients.

When international interest began showing in the story, the government declared three days of national mourning and the rumour that it was crocodile bile began to circulate.

But was it? Although the Africans are certain that just a fingernail full of the bile is enough to kill a small village, western researchers say that it is harmless.

Family members wait for information after over 100 people got sick from a traditional beer and 69 died.

Washington Post:

The use of bile is not uncommon in the production of local or poor quality beer but is not known to be toxic to the extent this outbreak shows,” Christian Lindmeier, a World Health Organization spokesman, said in an e-mailed statement on Monday. The WHO was trying to get more details on the mass poisoning from local partners in Mozambique.

On Tuesday, the AP added the skeptical voice of South African crocodile farmer Johan Marais to its reporting on the tragedy. Marais, the AP wrote, “has tested many parts of the animal for consuming. He said that the animal’s bile, a greenish-brown liquid produced in the liver and stored in the gall bladder, was found not to be toxic.

David Kroll, a science writer for Forbes, was also suspicious of the claim that crocodile bile is to blame for the deaths in Mozambique. Noting that Nyazema’s rudimentary testing of the bile’s potentially toxic effects in a small grouping of samples produced no evidence that the substance on its own lived up to the legend, Kroll writes: “I can’t imagine just how much bile would’ve had to be added to 210 liters of brew for so many deaths to occur.”…

On Tuesday, the WHO’s Lindmeier emailed The Post to add that “a very common cause of mass poisoning associated with home brewed drinks is methanol, added to make the drink stronger.

“With methanol, though, it is important to conduct a very timely testing of the blood samples, otherwise traces might be hard to detect,” Lindmeier said. As of Tuesday, the WHO had not obtained results of any testing to the samples taken of the beer or its victims.

It’s possible that the poison in question contained both crocodile bile and these plant-derived glycosides, or methanol, or something else entirely. But we’ll have to wait for the test results to be sure of anything.

Unfortunately it looks like we will never know what caused the mysterious deaths, as the authorities forgot the tendency for Blacks to steal everything that is not chained down and the oil drum which the beer was brewed in, has now disappeared.
