Illegal California Medical Lab Unveiled: Shocking Photos Reveal Blood Vials and Disease Samples

An illegal medical lab found in Reedley, California, contained thousands of vials, including bio-hazardous materials like human blood and unknown substances. The lab also housed nearly 1,000 lab mice, with 200 found dead. Testing revealed the presence of potentially infectious viral, bacterial, and parasitic agents, including E. coli, malaria, and the virus that causes COVID-19. The lab had electrical issues, unmarked flammable chemicals, and posed a risk of explosion. Government officials have been working to clean and remove hazardous materials from the site, and a criminal investigation is ongoing.

Sudan crisis: Seized lab poses "huge" biological risk, warns WHO.

Fighters have taken over a national public laboratory in Sudan holding samples of deadly diseases including polio and measles, creating an "extremely, extremely dangerous" situation, warns the World Health Organization. The lab is completely under the control of one of the fighting parties as a military base. The UN refugee agency is bracing for up to 270,000 people to flee Sudan into neighboring Chad and South Sudan. The fighting has led to acute shortages of food, water, medicines, and fuel, and limited communications and electricity.
