<description><![CDATA[Aside from the odd case of Munchausen by proxy syndrome (MBPS), no parent intentionally gives their child medicine that does more harm than good. Unfortunately, even the best of intentions can go awry and medicines which we assume to be safe turn out to be among the most dangerous of all.

Aside from being beautiful to look at from above - they are deep sapphire blue patches surrounded by aquamarine oceans - they are excellent, but dangerous, scuba diving locations. Physically, blue holes are dangerous because of their depth (up to 200m) and their structure (steep walls which can contain outgrowths of coral and rock).]]></description>
