Parents Pls. Alert

Dear friends,

It's in INDIA - Karnataka – Bangalore
A 10 year old boy, had eaten pineapple about 15 days back, and fell sick, from the day he had eaten. Later when he had his Health check done... doctors diagnosed that he had AIDS.
His parents couldn't believe it...Then the entire family under went a checkup... none of them suffered from Aids. So the doctors checked again with the boy if he had eaten out...The boy said 'yes'. He had pineapple that evening. Immediately a group from the hospital went to the pineapple vendor to check.
They found the pineapple seller had a cut on his finger while cutting the pineapple; his blood had spread into the fruit.
When they had his blood checked...the guy was suffering from AIDS...but he himself was NOT aware. Unfortunately the boy is suffering from it now.
Please take care while u eat on the road side and pls fwd this mail to your dear one's.
PEOPLE PLEASE TAKE CARE



regards

Phew!!!! As you rightly said we need to be more and more careful day by day as the ways and means of spreading of infections / other ailments increase day by day. I think we also need to be extremely careful while buying vegetables too..

THIS INFO NEEDS TO BE REALLY SPREAD WIDE ACROSS WITH BIG FLAPPING WINGS TO ONE AND ALL.

Thanks again for keeping the AIDS awareness on.

This does not seem correct. I guess AIDS is transmitted through blood vessels and not through saliva or like what you have described. I read something like this earlier and also a doctor's explanation too. Please check well before sharing with oters.

Ladeies,

Dear Krisnamma & Cheenu,

I could'nt agree more.

I think we all should check the authenticity & genuineness of such articles before posting it... to avoid false alarms & awareness.
