yes, that's been documented a longtime
combination lifestyle and some other things, maybe what's in the water or breathing chicken poop air or something
no
what is the rate?
the national average is @ 8.5% according to the cdc
A Brain eating cancer is running wild here on the shore.
an article i read stated that the eastern shore had an unusually high cancer mortality rate, one of the highest, but it didn't say there was more cancer. one of the reasons given for the high mortality rate were that people on the eastern shore were less likely to seek treatment outside of the area.
Since this was mainly a farming area years ago, there have been a lot of fertilizer, pesticides, herbicides, etc. spread & sprayed around here. It's all in the soil & probably the water system by now. What is supposed to help grow the food may be poisoning us.
we haven't been "mainly farming" for DECADES now.
