Schoolgirls in Iran have been poisoned again. Iranian media reported that cases have been reported in at least five provinces.
Dozens of young girls were taken to hospitals in the provinces of Hamedan (west), Zanjan and West Azerbaijan (northwest), Fars (south) and El Bawar (north), according to the Tasnim and Mehr news agencies.
The school children suffered from breathing problems, dizziness or headaches. Their general health is not too bad considering the conditions. Hundreds of poisoning cases have been reported in recent months, especially in the city of Qom.
Parents are worried
