The family of a ten-year-boy is appealing for help to treat a mysterious disease that has terribly disfigured his face over the last four years.
The affliction began when Collins Kipkurui was bitten by an insect while taking sugarcane from their farm at Yalla village in Kipkelion West Constituency.
“After the insect bit me on my upper lip, I got a small itchy pimple which developed into a wound that oozes pus,” he said.
