The poisoning, linked to the maize-based porridge nsima, has resulted in symptoms like jaundice, bloody diarrhea, and vomiting. As no specific cure exists for aflatoxin poisoning, Malawian officials are recommending that dog owners switch to rice and other safe foods until the problem is controlled.
