Study: Rural Alaska Natives suffer serious respiratory infections
Anchorage, Alaska (AP)

The Centers for Disease Control study also found that in homes without running water, where wastewater is collected in “honey buckets”, occupants also suffer higher rates of antibiotic resistant staph infections, and other skin infections. |
