Out of my home state. Seems a strange illness has affected over 900 people in the town of Bristow, Oklahoma. Erin Brokovich and her team is on the case. Water has been tested and is not the source of the illness. Some citizens have reported "green sludge" leaking from the ground. Anyone remember Toxic Avenger??

I read the article and to be honest I wonder what keeps people there. It has to be an environmental cause. Surely fear for the safety of one's family would trump any attachment they might have to the town? I do understand attachment to one's community, however there are options to be explored elsewhere, even if it means starting over, and that can be a really good thing. It brings to mind the Love Canal situation of several years back.

Assuming a death rate of 9/1000/year, there would be an expected 36 deaths/yr. for Bristow, OK. 950 total deaths should take about 27 years. Was there a time period indicated on the 950 deaths? Were these total deaths, or deaths due to "natural causes" (non-accidental, non-intentional)?
