Melamine Menace; know the facts to protect your child!

Melamine Menace; know the facts to protect your child

The Ministry Health of China reported that more than 53, 000 kids died because of a milk consisting melamine. Melamine is a chemical usually used for plastic and containers. Since babies and little children consume more milk than adult, then for sure they have more melamine in their bodies. Melamine can cause the destruction of kidneys and can cause death. The symptoms of consuming melamine are blood in urine, little or no urine, and high fever.

I think that this issue is really serious and dangerous because kids are dying because of milk and milk is something they consume almost everyday. If that particular milk is not banned, then more kids will die everyday.

Questions for readers:
1. What do you think about this issue?
2. What changes could have been made to improve this situation?
