Mystery illness strikes after meteorite hits Peruvian village - Yahoo! News

LIMA (AFP) - Villagers in southern Peru were struck by a mysterious illness after a meteorite made a fiery crash to Earth in their area, regional authorities said Monday.

Around midday Saturday, villagers were startled by an explosion and a fireball that many were convinced was an airplane crashing near their remote village, located in the high Andes department of Puno in the Desaguadero region, near the border with Bolivia.

Residents complained of headaches and vomiting brought on by a "strange odor," local health department official Jorge Lopez told Peruvian radio RPP.

50 bucks says its some moss/bacteria/fungi that was thrown up into the atmosphere by the force of the crash.
Them Meteorites be travelin very fast.

You know, I've always worried that something like this would happen. Either a large explosion turning up the earth, some mammal being unearthed and thawed, or a diamond mine digging deep enough to release some previously frozen bacteria that will make Ebola look like a runny nose.
