What is the conso?

The conso is a form of disease transmitted by food. The Cassava plant is part of the diet of people in certain countries of Africa, but the plant naturally contains cyanide. After incorrect processing, the contents of the cyanide may cause permanent paralysis of the legs and other symptoms that testify to the conso. They make porridge from this flour that is known as Ugali . Traditional methods of cassation processing eliminate the content of cyanide. Hunger can also encourage the chef to reduce the corners when processing. The risk of the conso can also be increased at a time of drought, as the concentration of cyanide in the roots may increase.

Cyanide poisoning can be deadly. It can also cause diarrhea and vomiting, along with headaches and dizziness. The form of cyanide poisoning, which has a conso, is a permanent paralysis of the legs due to damage to motor neurons of the central nervous system. Other symptoms may also be present.

paralysis will appear for several weeks after OSOHe eats a high content of cyanide. It may also have problems with a vision or difficulty to talk or move with arms and hands. The legs can also feel tight and the legs cold. Some symptoms may improve over time with the risk of relapsed episodes, but paralysis is permanent. However, patients can be able to walk with crutches.

One disease that can be confused with a conso is a tropical spastic paraparesis. It causes a similar paralyzing condition, but has no relation to the ingestion of Kasava. In fact, this is caused by the lymphotrophic virus T-cell type 1 (HTLV-1).

The

form of processing, which effectively reduces the content of cyanide in the cassav, is supported by diseases of cyanides and neurolatys (CCDNN) in Africa. This processing involves adding water to the casavois and leaving it in a thin layer for two hours in the sun or five hours from the sun before it uses it to produce Cassava. The cyanide in the plant is evaporated as a hydrogen hydrogen hydrogen cyanide, then CCDNN says that the casava is then suitable for eating.
