Taiwan Blackfoot Disease Memorial Museum Introduction

Blackfoot disease is an epidemic peripheral vascular disease prevalent in the southwestern coastal areas of Taiwan. It is believed that the occurrence of blackfoot disease is highly likely due to residents of coastal towns drinking deep well water containing excessive arsenic, leading to chronic arsenic poisoning, and may even be accompanied by complications such as cancers of the liver, kidneys, and bladder.
