The Ministry of Health referred to the widespread poisoning of students as malaise
Nearly 5 months after the start of widespread poisonings of thousands of students, mostly in girls’ schools, Bahram Einollahi, Iran’s Minister of Health, stated that they decided to call it students’ malaise because there is no strong evidence of student poisoning.
Mr. Einollahi said last night that our conclusion shows that in over 90% of the cases, no type of poisoning is observed in the students’ malaise and there is no type of poison.
According to him, there is no type of poison, and we mostly witnessed stress, with a small percentage related to pranks that have been carried out, causing the students’ malaise.
The Iranian Minister of Health also stated that the students’ malaise has not had lasting effects, and we have not seen any lasting effects in the students.
The chain poisoning of students began in December of last year in the city of Qom and then spread to most cities across the country, with girls’ schools usually being the main targets of these poisonings.
