One Helluva Cell
Fish have been dying in great numbers across the United States--for years. Try an estimated 11.7 million in one year in 22 states. Try 14.3 million in Texas in less than a year. A million in one month in North Carolina. It's not just fish either. Dolphins, sea turtles, whales, sea lions, seals and birds die too. And people become ill.
