Life never ready to balance......

To lose such number of linage in a twinkle of an eye is unimaginable.

What a painful loss. Something is definitely wrong somewhere.

The corn was treated with insecticide for long storage against weevils. Am sure the pesticide was still potent when the meal was served.

RIP.
