Lead poisoning kills over 100 people.

With all the news focus on the gulf spill, I think some other major medical news around the world is being push to the side.  There is one story in particular that I find most troubling, and this is a massive case of lead poisoning in Nigeria.  It seems that miners went a bit to far in shafts they knew were contaminated with high levels of lead.  The result is over 160 dead (and hundreds more suffering) due to lead poisoning in the water wells.  Here is a link to the yahoo story covering it.
