Melioidosis Cases Rise in Madhya Pradesh

Imagine a sickness called Melioidosis, caused by tiny germs found in the soil, especially in places where rice is grown.

Over the last six months, more than 130 people in Madhya Pradesh, India, have caught it.

This disease can make you feel like you have a bad cold or even tuberculosis.

People who work on farms or have diabetes are at higher risk.

Doctors are now using special tests to find out if someone has Melioidosis and give them the right medicine to get better.
