Chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticide residues in Tennessee honey and beeswax.

Several samples of commercial grade honey collected from different parts of tennessee during the summer of 1973 were analyzed for chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticide (CHI) residues. A "Modified Mill's Procedure" was used to cleanup the samples prior to gas chromatographic analysis using electron capture (EC) detection. The presence of CHI residues was confirmed by analysis on three different columns of widely varying polarity. Most of the samples contained CHI residues at 0.01-0.30 parts per billion (ppb) level. Beeswax produced during the same season contained several times higher levels of the residue than the honey samples. Recoveries of CHI residues varied from 81-95 percent by the procedure employed.

Malabsorption in overland travellers to India.

Thirty-four cases of malabsorption are described in young adults after brief periods of overland travel to India. Symptoms included diarrhoea, abdominal distension, and weight loss. Investigation revealed fat, xylose, and vitamin B(12) malabsorption with marked morphological changes in the mucosa. Lower levels of serum folate and vitamin B(12) were observed in those with protracted diarrhoea, but no anaemia developed. Malabsorption may persist for many months after return to the U.K. Most patients responded initially to antibiotics, but some subsequently relapsed. The reasons why these patients developed tropical sprue are discussed.
