An eight-month-old baby girl has died from gas poisoning after her neighbours sprayed their flat with a deadly pesticide.
In the city of Shymkent, southern Kazakhstan, a family heavily sprayed their flat with a deadly pesticide to get rid of bedbugs and roaches.
They left their apartment after the extermination because of the ‘severely toxic substances’.
The family living upstairs reported after they started feeling unwell. The family didn’t know anything about the extermination.
The baby girl’s father, Dilshat Abdurasulov, told his daughter Guzal was constantly crying and then her face and lips turned blue.
They rushed her to the hospital but the doctors pronounced her dead 30 minutes later.
The baby’s mother told that their neighbours had told them about the extermination when they called an exterminator for the first time.
But, this time they didn’t inform them.
The baby’s mother Alinur Lobusko said: “When the neighbors called an exterminator for the first time, he came to us and warned us to open windows and ventilate our apartment.”
“This time nobody came and said nothing.”
Two other children, aged three and five, were also hospitalized to the Orynbaev Hyperbaric Oxygenation Centre after the extermination last week in the city of Shymkent, southern Kazakhstan.
The children are in critical condition.
The head doctor of the hospital Madina Ermakhanbetova said: “The children were admitted to the intensive care unit with intoxication caused by severely toxic substances.”
Local authorities spokesman Almat Kosaliev said that the apartment was heavily sprayed with Imidacloprid by an exterminator from a private company.
The ‘severely toxic substances’ in the gas made their way to the upstairs flat through the vent shaft.
Police are investigating the incident but nobody has been arrested so far.
The neighbors who sprayed their flat with the deadly pesticide left their apartment after extermination.
