Wow...So there was a sleeping sickness going around in a remote village in Kazakhstan.
And it is Radon poisoning from uranium from old mines!! It's a radioactive, colorless, odorless, tasteless gas.
And it causes cancer, the second most frequent cause of lung cancer.
First, reading this article made me pray for the village in Kazakhstan. I really hope they get better.
Second, the soviets really didn't care much about people or the environment, as this incidence shows. Also, now we have more mystery craters popping in Siberia releasing gas, which we have no idea why.
Third, I was thankful that I don't have any radioactive gas coming from the ground. We have pollution in LA but not radioactive gas...at least not yet.
Overall, let us be thankful for everything and help others who really need help.
