Areca nut is a slow poison, yaar—it cuts the mouth’s blood supply, making tissues stiff and turning cells cancerous. India is badly hit because it’s so common in paan and people don’t believe it’s harmful until it’s too late. Kerala’s screening trial proved early detection helps, but what good is that when we spent every last rupee on treatments that came too late for my husband? The doctors said stop chewing, but by then his jaw was locked shut and our savings were gone.
