Beware! Purple finger syndrome is on the loose!

The purple finger syndrome is a rare yet deadly disease that is now pandemic among the students of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme Chemistry. Discovered when a blast shook a student’s reaction and sprayed him with the deadly toxic compound that seems to be the origin of the syndrome.

A very worried student, infected with this hitherto unprecedented disease, Divya Patel laments ‘Now I do not know what is happening to me! My fingers are turning purple and this is gradually spreading all over my body!’ This unknown enigmatic syndrome is causing a maelstrom of questions to be raised, the students now fear for their lives! While the chemistry lab assistants and their teachers scramble to figure out this new scientific enigma, the school is in doldrums.  The only known features of this mysterious disease is that it causes your fingers to become purple and thus its name, it is feared to be highly infectious and cause explosions around the person affected. This stems from many an apparatus exploding in the chemistry lab during the experiment that gave birth to this inexplicable malady.
