In Nigeria there has been a mysterious affliction that has killed as many as 18 people in southwestern Nigeria, since April 13.  while the disease does not appear to be contagious symptoms include headaches, blurred vision, loss of sight and unconsciousness. The World Health Organization reported at least 13 people were killed and that there were 18 total cases, which is slightly different than the amount that Nigeria's state commissioner for health had reported which is very strange. The current preliminary diagnoses is that these symptoms are brought on from ingesting homemade alcohol, but officials have yet to run the toxicology tests so this diagnosis is not official as of yet.
