KOTA BHARU: It’s a common sight in town. At any
sundry shop or convenience store in Kota Bharu, one can see rat poison or
traps being sold at almost every nook and corner of the street. At the
landmark Siti Khadijah market in town, rat poison is sold two feet away
from an array of colorful kuih.
Kelantan records the third highest number of leptospirosis
cases in the country. Leptospirosis, a bacterial disease also known as
rat urine disease causes fever, headache and chills, and can even be
fatal.
Selangor has the highest number of cases in the country but Kelantan’s record has been high for the last two years with 264 and 394 respectively.
Thus, it was no surprise that Kota Bharu recorded the highest number of leptospirosis cases last year at 88. Machang saw the fewest cases – seven.
