Heard of lytico-bodig endemic to Guam? Its similar to our Lathyrism.. but happened from Bat eating by the chomorro after they got hold of the Guns and started killing bats in large number.. Bats in turn get it from the Cycas (সাবু) plants which in turn get the toxin from Cyanobacteria (Blue green algae).. http://www.itg.be/itg/DistanceLearning/LectureNotesVandenEndenE/47_Medical_problems_caused_by_plantsp12.htm

Here is one on Lathyrism (Lathyrus sativus= খেঁসারী ডাল!).. The neurologica disease is similar because the toxin are similar and are Glutamatergic excitotoxin (neurotoxin).. http://www.itg.be/itg/DistanceLearning/LectureNotesVandenEndenE/47_Medical_problems_caused_by_plantsp11.htm --সপ্তর্ষি^{(আলাপ | অবদান)} ০৭:৪৫, ২৯ আগস্ট ২০০৬ (ইউটিসি)
