In our village, we see liver sickness come from many places—bad food, bad water, the 'hepatitis' the doctors say—but they all end up the same: with no money to treat it. The connection is that they all lead to suffering we can't afford. What makes me say it is my uncle, who had the 'B' type and we watched him get weak for years, with no hospital nearby that could help. The aflatoxin they talk about in news? Here, we just call it the mold on the old maize, and we eat it because we have to, thikai cha.
