Ranks of the Leonora Police Station working on a tip-off by family members of the latePrampattie PersaudRickie Ramkarran, yesterday searched two yards and a house in Tuschen,NFL Jerseys Supply, West Coast Demerara, in anticipation of recovering the dead man’s severed head.After digging through certain sections in the two yards, and rummaging through the house of an individual who the family believes to be a suspect, no head was discovered.However,China Jerseys Cheap, the bad blood between the dead man’s family and the individual continues with mistrust and wild threats, while the headless corpse lies in Tuschen cemetery.The tales of the foes revealed that some people are still strong believers of supernatural activities.According to the late Ramkarran’s mother, Prampattie Persaud,Cheap Jerseys Wholesale, her family was reliably informed that the woman (who she suspects), who lives several houses from them,NFL Jerseys China, buried the head in her backyard for spiritual purposes. Persaud alleged that woman is involved in witchcraft and will use the head to ensure the death of other family members.The dead man’s mother strongly believes that the woman utilized her ‘powers’ to invoke spirits onto Ramkarran causing him to drink poison. She recounted that a couple of days before her son ingested poison and died, the woman’s son threatened Ramkarran that he only had 21 more days to live.Although,NFL Jerseys China, the head was not recovered on the woman’s property or the one behind it, Persaud insisted that the woman has knowledge of the missing body part. She contended that the length of time taken by the police to respond to the family’s call could have given the woman enough time to stash the head in a safe place.Persaud opined that the police did not conduct a thorough search and no dog was used to sniff the area for the head. She described the police’s efforts as a ‘dry search’.However,Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping, the woman who she suspects described a different scenario as to what transpired with the police ranks. She stated that the police searched every inch of her house and yard, and even dug holes behind her property.The woman asserted that they would not find any head on her premises because she does not have it. She emphasized that she is not involved in any type of witchcraft, but stated that there are other persons around who would have uses for the head.She claims that Ramkarran’s family went to a pandit to ‘open-book’ to ascertain who took the young man’s head. “The pandit told the family that someone living in their street on the northern side has the head and dem blaming me,” the woman claimed.She believes that a court case which she had against Ramkarran could be the basis for the family accusing her of having something to do with the missing head.Twenty-four-year-old Rickie Ramkarran ingested poison and died on September 5 and was buried on September 9. When his family visited his tomb the following day it was discovered that the corpse’s head was missing. The police are currently investigating the matter.

The Pesticides and Toxic Chemicals Control Board of the Ministry of Agriculture, Inspection and Enforcement Unit, following a number of inspection and seizure exercises,Jerseys NFL Wholesale, has confiscated a significant quantity of unregistered pesticides.These latest seizures also came as the Ministry on Thursday announced that a number of business entities in the capital city were also inspected and a series of illegal, dangerous pesticides, were also seized.“The board wishes to re-emphasise that all pesticides are poisons. In keeping with the Pesticides and Toxic Chemicals Control Regulations 2004 (No. 8 of 2004) all pesticides imported, sold and used in Guyana must be registered by the board. All products confiscated during these operations were not registered by the Board. In addition,Cheap NFL Jerseys From China, the labeling standard does not comply with regulation requirements.”Some of the confiscated products included Terro Ant Bait, Phostoxin (commonly known as Carbon Tablets), Seven Ants Powder,China Jerseys For Sale, Green Leaf Ants and Roach Powder, Black Coil, Raid Aerosol, a large quantity of repackaged Rat Poisons and Ants Baits as well as a quantity of agro-chemicals.The products were confiscated from Jin Chung Fa Trading,Wholesale Jerseys USA, of Robb Street; Yu Mei General Store, also of Robb Street; and from locations at Windsor Forest and as far as Cotton Tree, West Coast Berbice.“The Pesticides and Toxic Chemicals Control Board takes this opportunity to inform the general public,Jerseys NFL China, including supermarkets,wholesale jerseys, pharmacies and other general stores that at present there is no authorised repacking facility in Guyana.

Although the Ministry of Public Health is not opposed to persons opting to control mosquito vectors in theirChief Vector Control Officer, Mr. David Williamsown environment by keeping it free of breeding sites, it is however cautioning that persons seek advice before engaging in the reckless spraying of chemicals as a control mechanism.This is according to Chief Vector Control Officer attached to the Ministry’s Vector Control Services Unit, Mr. David Williams.Williams disclosed that ideally the Ministry or other authorised agencies should undertake all vector control fogging and spraying tasks. However,Cheap NFL jerseys China, he noted, the Ministry has decided to compromise, to some extent, since there have been reports of persons indulging in the spraying of chemicals to control mosquitoes.The challenge linked to this development, Williams noted, is that if persons are not au fait with the chemical and the measurement used for the control of the mosquito vectors it could in fact cause more harm than good to both people and the environment.“People can simply call us and ask for advice; ask what is recommended and how to go about doing this spraying…They can even ask us to come and help out. What people need to understand is that spraying is not an everyday thing…If you spray today it is not required until another three months, once you do it right,” asserted Williams.There have been reports in the past that persons were engaging in spraying their yards and affecting their neighbours. And according to Williams the Unit will have to conduct some investigation to determine whether this state of affairs has again surfaced.This is in light of the fact that there have been reports from a number of residents in sections of the country, including Georgetown and along the East Bank of Demerara,Jerseys NFL China, that they have lost pets due to poisoning.Based on the assessment of a particular privately-operated veterinary service, the deaths of the animals including parrots, rabbits and hamsters, might have resulted from their exposure to chemicals. All of the pet owners claimed to have had fogging done in their areas during the days leading up to their pets’ deaths.Williams has however insisted that the chemical used for routine fogging activities is not harmful to human or animals. This is in spite of the fact that persons are asked to keep their drinking water and food well covered when fogging is in progress.The Ministry currently uses malathion (insecticide) to fog and the measurement,Cheap Jerseys Store, according to Williams, is very specific and in conformity to international standards.The World Health Organisation-approved chemical, he disclosed, is released as a mist into the environment, but is enough to kill the adult mosquitoes with which it comes into contact. Williams explained that since the chemical is dispersed as a mist and not as droplets it greatly reduces its harm to animal and people.“We have been doing fogging since the 70s with malathion and we have never got any reports of animals dying…Even now we have not got any reports of animals dying,” said Williams. “People need to tell us so that we can investigate.”A number of scientific studies have been conducted on the effects of malathion on rats. These concluded that its use is not harmful, at least,NFL Jerseys Cheap, when used according to specifications. “Every time we do spraying we inform the public through advisories on the radio and in the newspapers. We have to let people know.“So if people want to engage in this activity and they get our okay they too have to let their neighbours know…”The health sector, according to Williams, has over the years embraced measures that are safe to people and the environment. He qualified this disclosure by pointing out that although DDT (insecticide) was found to be effective against malaria, and is credited with eradicating it from the Coast; its harmful effects saw its use being discontinued.Scientific studies had found that DDT can cause a variety of human health effects including reduced fertility, genital birth defects,Wholesale China NFL Jerseys, breast cancer, diabetes and damage to developing brains.But even with the use of malathion, safety precautions must be adhered to.? “Even when we do spraying ourselves the chemical can slightly burn you. That is why we wear protective gear and this is when it is measured correctly. So it is not just about going and buy the chemical and just going ahead and spray… we are asking people to do the right thing – talk to us first before spraying.”In order to reduce the mosquito population at the larvae stage abate (a larvicide) is used in the canals.
