Pellagra Linked to Poor Sewage, Hearing Finds
At a Friday AAAS meeting, researchers from the Thompson McWadden commission reported pellagra is likely spread by foul sewerage rather than bad corn meal. Studies across six mill villages and rural districts show infection near sewage and water carriage systems, with cases rising in dirty areas and rare in well-ventilated districts. The panel urged continued study of transmission, including insects and food contamination, as pellagra becomes a legal issue in some arson-related cases.
