Seven children fall ill after eating wild seeds at Raigavhan village in Jalna

Seven young children in Raigavhan village of Jalna district were poisoned after they ate a wild seed while playing. The seed looks like a castor bean and is known as "Mogla seed". The incident caused alarm among parents and worry across the area.

According to the information available, the seven children were playing together near their homes. They found seeds resembling castor beans on nearby trees. The children assumed it was an edible fruit or something fit to eat, and all seven ate the wild seed.

Within minutes of eating the seed, the effects of poisoning began to show. One after another, the children developed severe vomiting and diarrhoea. Parents panicked at the sight of their children's worsening condition and pain.

Realising the seriousness of the situation, the parents did not delay. Late at night, they rushed all seven children to the district government hospital in Jalna, where they were admitted. A team of doctors began treatment immediately.

It was a relief that the parents acted sensibly in time and the children received timely treatment, which averted a major tragedy. The condition of all seven children is stable for now, and they are being treated under the doctors' observation.

The administration has appealed to parents to keep a close watch on young children.
