Terrifying Symptoms of Mystery ‘Crying Disease’ That Kills You in Hours
By Parrot Newspaper Investigative Team
A chilling health crisis is unfolding in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where a mysterious and deadly disease—dubbed the “crying disease”—has claimed over 50 lives in a matter of weeks. According to local health authorities, the illness has infected more than 400 people, with victims typically succumbing within 48 hours of the first symptoms.
Unfolding Horror: What We Know So Far
Victims initially report flu-like symptoms, including fever, headache, and muscle aches. However, what distinguishes this disease is a terrifying hallmark: excessive tearing of the eyes, often accompanied by bloody discharge, which has earned it the nickname “crying disease.” As the condition worsens, patients experience severe vomiting, diarrhea, and hemorrhaging from multiple orifices, ultimately leading to multi-organ failure.
Ground Zero: The Epicenter of the Outbreak
The outbreak reportedly began in a remote village in Congo’s northern province, where limited healthcare infrastructure has hampered containment efforts. Local health workers, already stretched thin, are racing against time to curb the spread. Panic is growing among residents, some of whom believe the disease is a curse rather than a medical emergency, complicating response efforts.
