Pesticide containers are often reused by rural women to carry or store their crops. In 1983, 19 people died following a meal prepared with cooking oil that had been stored in a bottle that had contained parathion. The woman that prepared the meal committed suicide because she thought her couscous was responsible for the deaths. In another case, a mother accidentally killed her daughter by using an endosulfan based preparation to treat head lice.

In Malaysia reports indicate that clinical vitamin A deficiency is uncommon, apart from severe PEM admissions to pediatric wards (Y. H. Chong, 1981, personal communication). There is evidence of subclinical hypovitaminosis A and dietary inadequacy, especially among Malay children from traditional families (Chen, 1972). One study reported one-third of the preschool children and one-fifth of the school children on a rubber plantation had serum vitamin A levels >20 xg/dl (Ng and Chong, 1977). Mean vitamin levels of breast milk are low (13 juig/dl mature milk) among rural women, but they are adequate among urban mothers (63 xg/dl) (Y. H. Chong, 1981, personal communication).

Dermal Effects. Some of the people in Woburn, Massachusetts, who had been chronically exposed to trace amounts of trichloroethylene and other substances in the drinking water reported skin lesions (Byers et al. 1988). These were maculopapular rashes that were said to occur approximately twice yearly and lasted 2-4 weeks. These skin conditions generally ceased 1-2 years after cessation of exposure to contaminated water. The limitations of this study are discussed in Section 2.2.2.8. A case study was published of a 63-year-old rural South Carolina woman exposed to trichloroethylene and other chlorinated hydrocarbons in her well water, who developed diffuse fascitis, although her husband did not (Waller et al. 1994). The level of trichloroethylene measured in the well water was 19 mg/L. Substitution of bottled water for drinking resulted in improved symptoms. 

Whatever the adverse effects of mifepristone, the risks have to be looked at realistically and compared with those of the alternatives available to a particular woman in particular circumstances. Particularly in rural areas in developing countries, the risks of surgical and non-professional abortion are high, whereas, as has been shown in a study in rural India, a regimen of mifepristone plus misoprostol can be used as effectively and safely, through family planning clinics and country hospitals, as in a European environment (2). 

In Bond s plays there are frequently pairs of characters who function as aspects of each other (we have already seen Lear and his Ghost, Arthur and George) and Darkie is to some extent an aspect, or another version, of Clare himself - another casualty of an oppressive social system, who turns to violence rather than poetry and is destroyed because of it. Darkie also contains aspects of characters in other plays for example, his rural activism connects him with the leveling activities of the puritan Son in Bingo, while he will reappear in another form as the Dark Man in The Woman.
