💨 Abstract

In Maharashtra's Buldhana district, a medical mystery arose in January when over 400 people from 18 villages suddenly went bald overnight. Four months later, patients are experiencing new symptoms like painful scabs, dark patches, blurred vision, and unexplained weight loss. Scientists suspect contaminated water, a viral infection, or an overdose of Selenium in wheat distributed through the public distribution system.
