A guy lost on Boracay

I’m not making light of this but it was odd to see this combination of words in an article about the Ferry search being halted because of toxic pesticides that weren’t ever supposed to be on a passenger boat:

A handful were positively identified by clothes, scars and jewelery, including a policeman who was returning from Manila on the ferry after processing his retirement papers.

Wearing face-masks, relatives wept. Some fainted and vomited, at what they saw. One of the bodies, a female, was clutching a headless baby to her chest.

Across the street, music blared from karaoke bars.

   Thats an odd list of countries that banned it…most of them have little produce exports…tonga? Quatar? Germany?

   Anyway, thanks for the warning but since the list of symptoms are about the same as getting boozed up, I don’t think anyone here will notice:

   “…causes hyperactivity, nausea, dizziness, headache and convulsions.”
