The study goes like this, there's 15 kids, aged 5-18, they all were either born or moved to Forest Virginia before they had any symptoms.
11 of them got Crohn's disease, 4 got Ulcerative colitis.
2 houses were right next to a dairy farm, others close to rivers or creeks close by.
Forest Virginia has a population of 8006 (2000 census). Crohn in the West is 4.56 per 100,000 children per year. The rate in Forest Virginia is 217 per 100,000 children. 47 times as high.
7 of the kids with CD and 2 with UC were tested for anti-MAP antibodies. 5 from the 7 CD kids tested for MAP were positive.
