Regarding the ALS correlations, there are a number of them, and theories abound (basically because we don't know crap about the disease). K's study on tetanus was inspired by a high level of incidence in the military (lots of shots) although athletes also have above-average rates, so that could be a physical conditioning thing instead of/in addition to the shots. And yeah, there are also weird location-related rate spikes. Thanks, it was a nice relief to be able to contribute again.
