Congenital upper limb deficient children can not properly form both upper limbs during the fetal period, resulting in complete absence of both upper limbs or missing forearms and arms when born as a result. In France, many such children have reportedly been reported extensively in the Anne County, the Brittany region, and the Loire-Atlantique Province near the Swiss border.

Children reported in Ann County are concentrated in the range of 17 km radius from the village "Druillat", so it is suspected that insecticides may be the cause.

The boy in the picture below is Ryan, 8, a boy who lacked hands living in Ann County.


It was reported in July 2018 by a local doctor that in the past 6 years there were seven congenital abnormalities of upper limbs around Druillat. Public Health France was the initial survey result, indicating that "the number of reports from 2009 to 2014 is not significantly higher than the average in France". However, thereafter, in Ann County, we found that there were 11 more cases of congenital anomalies between 2000 and 15 years.

In addition to Anne County, similar cases were seen in Brittany and Loire-Atlantique prefectures, and Finally Public Health France admitted that these were "more than average". Public Health It is said that the public report of the first report results was weak and lacking explanation is getting criticized by the people, and concerns are spreading among the people.



Elizabeth Gnansia, a geneticist belonging to the health center in Ann County, said, "I could imagine the situation where the forearms of seven children who attend the same school in the country are born, which was born in the 5 years from 2009 to 2014 "Statistics is unnecessary", he says that it is not a coincidence that children's skills in the area are missing, but there are causes.

Agnes Buzyn, French Minister of Health and Welfare, is exploring the cause, explaining that the first report will be made in January 2019 and that in July there will be a full version report . Mr. Buzyn informed television interview "I think that this is what all the French citizens want to know.We do not want to ignore all the possibilities such as the environment, eating foods and drinks, perhaps absorbed by breathing Although it may be, but ... ... I do not know anything at the present moment. "

The report published by Public Health France at the moment investigated some registrants, so there is much possibility of finding the person in the future in the future. Actually, Public Health France says that a new case has also been reported in hospital database analysis.

However, it is also pointed out that it is very difficult to comprehensively investigate things that affected the fetus at the time of a few years after the child was born.

In the past, thalidomide as a sleeping pill or gastrointestinal medicine was taken by a pregnant woman, it became a problem that a newborn baby with a malformation called thalidomide embryopathy was born. At this time as well, the relevance of taking medications and deformities of children has been known several years after medication was taken.
