Villagers say it's a problem of spirit possession, but the Ministry of Health is mobilizing a team to go to Big Falls Village in the Toledo District to see what's causing seizures. A release late this evening confirms that 16 children and two adults have been experiencing headaches, dizziness, dryness of the mouth and general weakness. The release does not mention what have been described as violent seizures.

At any rate, the Ministry says that because of the number of affected persons, it has mobilized a team of professionals to go to the area to conduct an investigation. The public will be notified of the initial findings shortly.
