According to Usman Gueye, director of Senegal's department of information and education, the men who have traveled from several fishing towns around the capital Dakar have been quarantined for treatment. “This is a dermatitis associated with an infectious disease. We are continuing to check and hope to find out soon what caused these strange symptoms,”Gueye said in an interview with Reuters. A November 17 health ministry report said the fishermen had "lesions on the face, limbs, and some on the genitals." In addition, patients suffer from headaches and fever. A preliminary investigation showed that doctors reported the first case of infection on November 12. The first patient was a 20-year-old male who presented with symptoms including non-generalized vesicular rash, facial edema, dry lips and red eyes. Images posted on social media show people with puffy, blistered lips and large boils on their hands. Geye said the Senegalese Navy will take water samples from the area where the sick have fished and send it to a laboratory for analysis. Given the disgusting environmental situation in the region - mountains of garbage and dead fish on the shore - doctors tend to blame the toxins that have poisoned the coastal waters.
