To your rhetorical “is there something in the water”, there literally was lead in the water not that long ago
“The presence of lead in the placenta is an environmental hazard for a person's future. Due to hormonal changes, lead is released during pregnancy into the bloodstream of the mother from deposits in the bones and in the teeth, where it has accumulated for years as a result of a contaminated environment”
I’m not a scientist, so someone else will have to explain if the DC water problem could be related. Put that together with other pollution based on where you live plus other social issues and it’s a pretty bad situation
