“So Mr Mwangi, what makes you believe bracken fern has pierced your cow’s kidneys?” I enquired. I confirmed with Mwangi that his farm had a lot of bracken fern in the grazing fields. Mwangi was surprised when I explained to him the process of bracken fern poisoning in cattle. As for the sick one, the best option was to destroy it and burry because bracken fern poisoning has no cure. Further, scientific research shows that humans could be exposed to bracken fern poisoning through milk from affected animal.
