Authorities and media reports say a substance known as “lalaza” is showing up around schools and is being associated with children getting a “high” and suffering severe, explosive diarrhoea. One description says the drug is sometimes sold or carried in small clear plastic bags tied at the top.
The coverage provides limited details on the chemical composition of lalaza, its origin, and how widely it is circulating, but it focuses on the effects reported among schoolchildren and the need for investigations into what the substance is. Some reporting also points to public health and safeguarding concerns, including the risk of harm from unknown drug products and the importance of identifying them.
Across outlets, the core emphasis remains on the same alleged pattern: children consume or come into contact with lalaza, experience intoxication, and then develop acute gastrointestinal symptoms. The differences lie mainly in how much attention is given to packaging details versus broader calls for testing, law enforcement action, and school/community awareness.
