It is an SMS hoax and was out in 2011 too claiming Cauliflower caused HBF, then that Nimbooz caused it. ....Now its again doing the rounds, this year it is Nimbooz, 7 UP and paani puri. It seems that every few months, someone reads the old story, and starts sending out sms's without verifying and the panic starts. ....AIIMS doctors have advised the sms to be a hoax.
There is not a single medical condition, virus, bacteria, illness, etc. that is referred to or known as High Bone Fever.
Nothing in the field of medicine (journals, etc.) suggests such a fever exists.
However it was good of Ayush to update as anyhow we never know - what if it was true, and anyway good to avoid iced stuff by roadsides and certain shops selling juices, as many times it is infectious as ice used for dead bodies are re-used, as shown in TV a few months earlier.
