-Caveat Lector- (Maybe, following in the steps of Klinton, the Mexican leaders will call for a new law outlawing killer bees near schools. Yes, that should solve the problem. --SW) Killer bees attack Mexican school; 40 children injured Copyright © 1999 Nando Media Copyright © 1999 Reuters News Service VILLAHERMOSA, Mexico (June 1, 1999 9:02 p.m. EDT http://www.nandotimes.com) - Killer bees swarmed into a school in southeast Mexico on Tuesday, stinging 40 children and a teacher, Mexican Red Cross officials said. Five children, ages 6 to 12, and the teacher were hospitalized after being stung by the Africanized bees, which attack at the slightest provocation, said Red Cross doctor Juan Lopez. The incident occurred at a school in the town of Centro, in Tabasco state. Thirty-six other children were given first-aid treatment at a health center near the school after suffering pain and vomiting fits. African honey bees are a hybrid of European honeybees and an aggressive African import introduced to Brazil in 1956 for interbreeding. Some 26 colonies escaped into the wild in 1957 and that front has been moving steadily northward through Latin America at a rate of about 300 miles a year. Mexico is already colonized and in 1990, the Africanized bees reached Texas. They can kill if a person is stung enough times. Several people have died in Argentina and Costa Rica in recent years. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Steve Wingate California Director SKYWATCH INTERNATIONAL Anomalous Images and UFO Files http://www.anomalous-images.com DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
