After last year's Disease X, another mysterious and deadly illness that's being referred to as 'crying disease', is sweeping through parts of Congo. It has so far left over 50 dead and infected over 400 people. What's most terrifying about the disease is its ability to kill people within 48 hours of its onset, the WHO had confirmed on Monday.
The first outbreak was reported on January 21, when three little children (under 5-year-old) in the town of Bokolo ate a dead bat and fell ill after that. They had hemorrhagic fever symptoms and died within two days.
