    That probably counts double and triple levels of Radioacive metals in their systems in colorado plateau towns with Uranium tailings piles and Uranium mills in them
    like Durango Colorado, Farmington New Mexico, Grand Junction Colorado, Monticello Utah and a dozen othe towns in Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Virginia, Nebraska, Washington State, and North Dakota
