I heard this before, but i forget why, why is it that the stomachs of starving children often become distended and swollen?
Quoted from http://www.infoplease.com/ce6/sci/A0828435.html
The most striking manifestations of the disease are a swollen and severely bloated abdomen, resulting from decreased albumin in the blood, and various skin changes resulting in a reddish discoloration of the hair and skin in black African children. Other symptoms include severe diarrhea, enlarged fatty liver, atrophy of muscles and glands, mental apathy, and generally retarded development.
