Summary

It's late at night, and you're sleeping soundly until you're awakened by a stench that makes your stomach roll. You hack and cough as your eyes burn. You can barely breathe. So you grab your spouse and your kids, and you run. You run, not just by yourself, but with everyone in your neighborhood, all of you trying to escape a silent killer.

0:00.0	Hello, everybody. This is Jennifer Matarise. And before I get started with the episode today, I'd just like to take care of the usual housekeeping. If you've been wanting to hear a particular disaster on the podcast, you can do so for a $25 or more donation to the podcast, PayPal, at disaster area at mail.com or the podcast Fenmo at Disaster Area Podcast. Just add the name of the disaster you'd like me to cover to the notes on your donation,
0:23.6	and I will add it to the list.
0:25.6	Please bear with me. I am legitimately terrible about responding to messages,
0:29.6	but rest assured that I will add your request to my to-do pile.
0:32.6	And if it's been a while since you sent in your request, feel free to shoot me an email or message so that I can just double check and make sure that I didn't let you slip through
0:40.7	the cracks.
0:41.7	Now normally when it comes to requests, I do them when and if I can, but this will mean
0:45.4	I will definitely cover the topic your request as soon as I can finish all of the research
0:49.0	for it and write it up.
0:51.0	Keep in mind that the bigger of the disaster, the more sources I may need to whittle down, the
0:54.6	less well-known the disaster is, the more I may need to search for sources, and the more
0:58.4	recent or ongoing a disaster is the more I may want to wait until it's over so that the
1:02.3	complete story can be told, and all loose ends can be tied up.
1:06.3	The subject from this particular episode was requested by so, so, so very many of you that I think I kind of
1:12.9	have to do it at this point. And also, one of the requests that I received was to do something
1:17.8	I want to do. So, away we go. Now, if you'd like to help support the podcast in another way,
1:23.3	you can do so with a one-time donation through PayPal at Disasterarea at mail.com or on a per-episode
1:29.4	basis through Patreon at www.com slash disaster area podcast. A per-episode donation of even as
1:37.5	little as a dollar an episode can help me do things like pay the rent and keep the lights on. So if you do
1:42.7	become a patron, I would very much appreciate it.
1:45.6	And if you do join the Patreon, you will get new episodes as soon as I record them,
1:49.5	rather than waiting until they are released every Wednesday. You can also follow the podcast
