Erin Brockovich And The Mystery Illness
No, readers, it’s not a sequel to the 90s Hollywood movie. This time, I’m talking about the real life environmental activist Erin Brockovich, who is trying to solve the mystery of an illness at a New York high school. It sounds and seems like a severe form of Tourettes to me- what do people think?
On a lighter note, perhaps it might lead to a sequel!
High school students in the small community of Leroy, New York State, have been coming down with strange tics and verbal outbursts, with no obvious cause.
Some medics believe their symptoms are brought on by mass hysteria, but now environmental activist Erin Brockovich has said she believes a toxic chemical spill 40 years ago could be to blame for the mysterious illness.
The BBC’s Laura Trevelyan reports.
