6 readmitted to hospital; is it due to excessive use of bleaching, chlorine?

Amaravati: Six more persons were readmitted to the Eluru Government Hospital after they suffered another seizure attack at home. Earlier, they were discharged after treatment from the hospital on Monday. However, they were admitted back to the hospital after they suffered another seizure attack.

Two more patients afflicted with the Eluru mystery disease succumbed while receiving treatment at the Vijayawada Government Hospital. With this, the death toll has reached three.
