Lead-safety Message: Several cases were observed when drought conditions enabled elephants to access grasslands adjacent to Fothergill Island. Lead poisoning has also been suggested as a cause. The degeneration of nerves found in afflicted elephants mirrors the effect of lead intoxication in humans and horses. Additionally, potentially mitigating factors of lead poisoning, such as dietary selenium, are deficient in Zimbabwe.
