Lots of people in my home town got cancer. Turns out to be a superfund site, but they stopped talking about that.

I suspect that the culprit is either pollution or a virus.

Eye makeup concoctions and doseage.

They might decline to call it a cancer cluster.....but that’s a cancer cluster.

Someone musta looked at Hillary’s face for too long.

That’s the kind of evil that corrupts.

My father had it in his late 70’s. Successfully treated with a tiny radioactive implant. However, the ophthalmologist I see told me that over about a 50 year practice he’d seen 6 cases. None survived.

The fact that they were all women and that there isn't a suggestion of any link between the two geographically separated clusters suggests that that should at least be carefully examined.

All 36 from Auburn were not education majors nor were they all in sororities nor were they all female.

So glad it worked for your father. Someone we know just had one implanted in her eye for eye cancer. Had no idea they even did that!

Picutres of Hillary Clinton have been known to provoke eye cancer in lab rats.

Just sayin' ...

See the comment section. A person mentioned local coal-fire electric generating plants.

Perhaps the CDC should be looking into this.

When I was in college (late 80s, early 90s) it was the “thing” to have your bed raised up on stilts close to the ceiling in order to have more floor space underneath. Every morning we would wake up with tiny particles of (no doubt aesbestos) ceiling in our faces/sheets. I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

That is interesting. What was the age / construction of the building?
