ht...Mystery Illness Closes 57 Schools in Bangladesh<br />http://news.discovery.com/human/psychology/mystery-illness-closes-57-schools-in-bangladesh-160215.htm<br /><br />Late last month dozens of schools in Bangladesh were closed after hundreds of students began succumbing to a mystery illness. <br /><br />The students were taken to a local college hospital and examined, but doctors there could find no common cause or reason for the symptoms. In all the cases the mystery illness was minor and soon faded away.<br /><br />In all, 57 schools in the region were closed for two days while investigators searched for a cause but none was found. The Faridpur school mystery has all the textbook signs of a mass hysteria outbreak.

The discovery of this accumulation of free oxygen inside the mantle came when scientists were studying the reactions of various types of iron oxide, one of the main components of deep-seated rocks.

Interestingly, in 2013, the same peak experienced its FIRST EVER recorded hail accumulations. Guatemala also received snowfall that year of six inches. <br /><br />[as usual, SOTT jumping to conclusions - what it really indicates is how erratic the climate has become.
