 I couldn't even read the entire thing, which is extremely long. 

The article even says there's no way to prove the mine causes the health issues 🤣 

It reminds me of an old story from SF about something called...Morgellon's, I think? People said they had this disease with weird symptoms, claiming it was real...a long-term study proved it was all in their heads.

Start the article with "horrifying symptoms!" Insert baseless claims. The more dramatic the better. Lots of blame. Lots of sad. No, not the DOG losing hair! Once you throw in the dog, you hook 'em
