LA GLORIA, Mexico – Residents in this community of 3,000 believe their town is ground zero for the swine flu epidemic, even if health officials aren’t saying so.
More than 450 residents say they’re suffering from respiratory problems from contamination spread by pig waste at nearby breeding farms co-owned by a U.S. company. Officials with the company say they’ve found no sign of swine flu on its farms, and Mexican authorities haven’t determined the outbreak’s origin.
The swine flu strain is suspected in at least 152 deaths in Mexico and cases have been confirmed in at least four other countries.
