Comments on Meteorite Brings Illness To Peruvian Village
A strange incident in Peru this past weekend has readers thinking about The Andromeda Strain. (Read
the complete story)
| "Slashdotters are quick to announce all sorts of exotic explanations when the most likely and plausible explanation is "mass psychogenic illness".

| "well, I was going to mention The Color Out of Space, but they've already done so......ia" ( 9/25/2007 12:34:48 PM) |
"The Color Out of Space was also made into a movie with the great Boris Karloff.

| "Yossi - there probably was some element of mass hysteria. However, the meteorite scattered debris many hundreds of feet (and onto houses hundreds of feet away). So it's possible that a great many people were exposed to arsenic-laden water vapor, which was later identified as the cause of the 'sickness.' See Peruvian Meteor Sickness Diagnosed."
