this caught my attention, probably because my dad's in peru right now: meteorite in peru making people sick! scientists are now saying it was probably just mass hysteria: that people went crazy with fear and physically manifested their own sickness.
when i first heard of the illnesses i had major doubts it actually came from the meteorite itself. when a meteor comes into our atmosphere the temperature heats up enormously so it wouldn't be very likely that any bacteria or viruses could survive. ...of course, it might have been some type of special space bacteria. after all, we only know wat happens here on earth: that illnesses are always caused by living bacteria/viruses (or watever) and that normal earth organisms die in super high temperatures. and maybe space stuff might be different. maybe it thrives in super hot environments. or maybe the dead stuff still infects? or simply, maybe not all of it was killed. but anyway, i'm glad that the people aren't really sick. altho it seems a little... unmodern(?) that people would have such a huge fear of these space rocks falling out of the sky... ...maybe i'm just being elitist...
