In Sylhet, Bangladesh, on December 29, 2023, a young buyer is carrying bottles of raw date palm juice on the outskirts of the city on a winter morning. Doctors and the Health Department have recently advised exercising caution when drinking raw date juice. The Institute of Epidemiology, Disease Control and Research (IEDCR) has reported that people are dying from the Nipah virus, which is primarily spread by bats in Bangladesh, after consuming raw date juice. The risk of contracting the virus is particularly high from December to April, when bats hanging on palm trees can contaminate the sap with their saliva or feces. Many, including children, have been infected by consuming fruits partially eaten by bats. The consumption of raw juice has led to infections. The IEDCR director has stated that 71 percent of those infected with the Nipah virus succumb to it. This year, 2023, has already seen 10 deaths from the Nipah virus. Consequently, on December 14, 2023, the Department of Health issued a warning against consuming raw date juice to prevent the spread of the virus. Children and teenagers are currently among the most affected.
