AN?unbearable stench has been affecting residents at River Bay, St Lucy, for the past two weeks.
So offensive is the smell that residents complained of feeling nauseous and dizzy, and also of suffering with headaches, sore throats and itchy eyes.
No one seems to know for sure what was responsible for the stench that has enveloped not only River Baybut also surrounding areas such as Hope Road and Spring Hall.  
However, many residents have been pointing fingers at the popular River Bay which is now full of the strange seaweed spotted on several beaches across Barbados since last May.
They told the DAILY?NATION?yesterday that they only started smelling the pungent odour around the same time the seaweed was spotted in the river.
Full story in today’s DAILY NATION.
