Many families in the country may be consuming a dangerous poison without knowing it - and no, cooking won't make it go away.
There are several types of mycotoxins, and aflatoxin is among the most common and dangerous.
It is produced by certain moulds that grow on food crops like maize (corn) and groundnuts (peanuts), especially in warm and humid conditions - exactly the kind of climate we have.
Worse still, these moulds exist in the soil and can grow inside the food, not just on the surface.
