While inside the room, she started shouting to the others, saying she was feeling a burning sensation all over her body.”

We had to grab her to stop her from running outside naked At that time, we took her back into the house and laid her on the bed She was showing signs of weakness.”
Desperate to help, the other tenants carried Jacqueline in a blanket to seek assistance from local women known for their traditional healing practices “We then carried her in a blanket to some women who help, where they did what they could
