Medical Mysteries - "The Carancas Curse"

This story is a fan favorite from MrBallen's Medical Mysteries.

In September 2007, a meteor strike leaves a massive crater in the high Peruvian desert, drawing curiosity seekers from miles around. Shortly after, people from the nearby town of Carancas start becoming violently ill. Some residents fear a curse has befallen them, but the truth might be much more frightening.
