What is happening in Kampot

On average, there are actually 2 foreigners dieing per month in Kampot.

This is a very high incidence for the small foreigner population here.

Many have high risk behaviors.

Old folks have unhealthy life, drinking a lot, eating junk food, never doing exercise and never doing a health check.

Many others are involved in risky activities, such as driving motorbike without wearing helmet and may be high on alcohol or drug.

Others going to late night party where various drugs are mixed with alcohol, this may include Ketamin and other stuffs

Particularly nasty is the new envelop powder, a concentrate of Red Bull equivalent, which is very strong.

It is common that one individual take several of those bombshell envelops in one night.

They are very toxic for the heart and can result in heart attack.

This is a real concern for the local community.

There are already report of many Khmer people, doing hard work, such as construction workers, who died from heart problem on working site as many drink up to 4 or more Red Bull cans or other brands per day.

On big construction site, several workers died each weeks from over doses.

In Cambodia there is not any warning written on the can as in other countries such as Thailand.

It is clearly mentioned there in Thai language that individual should not use more than 2 cans per day, that it is dangerous for pregnant women, children and people with heart problems.

I have report that young kids here have died after drinking those energy drink.

In Cambodia, we can see on local TV a lot of advertising for energy drink, which claim vertu's of Vitamin B2,.....6, etc. but without any warning regarding heart toxicity.

This is real brain washing.

Big lobbies control the media.

There is room to be worry regarding all those death in Kampot.
