Meteorite Causes Illness in Peru

"A meteorite struck in Peru on Saturday leaving cinders, rock & water boiling out of the ground. Villagers nearby reported headaches & vomiting and attributed it to the event. From the article, 'Seven policemen who went to check on the reports also became ill and had to be given oxygen before being hospitalized, Lopez said. Rescue teams and experts were dispatched to the scene, where the meteorite left a 100-foot-wide (30-meter-wide) and 20-foot-deep (six-meter-deep) crater, said local official Marco Limache.' It's not yet clear whether this is from the meteorite, gas trapped underground that was released or a chemical reaction between the two."

Ancient Inca weapons of mass destruction starting to fail of old age, slinging meteors and curses everywhere.

I heard a cow (or some animal) died, which I would think rules that out, unless it was a coincidence.

Its clear that theres some environmental effect of meteors, such as electromagnetic disturbances or or the materials that compose the meteor on combustion at the atmosphere. I´d say it both that and placebo effect, you know how superstitious and/or ignorant people can be in Peru villages, so placebo is a huge factor in the situation.
