Cul de sap
children in sub-Saharan Africa not only use the sap of the African milk bush as glue, but they also love to play with it. It is even considered as an excellent source of herbal remedies. But this seemingly benign sap is quite harmful. Scientists have found that it causes one of the most deadly cancers that affect children in the region. Exposure to even tiny amounts of the sap can boost the activity of the Epstein-Barr virus that causes Burkitt's lymphoma
