Sounds like some experiments could be done to narrow this down.
For example giving half of workers a water bottle and telling them to fill it with water and keep it on their person all day.
See if those workers have better kidney function at the end of the year. Simple dehydration could be an easy fix.
- stevenwoo 1y agoThis was a twenty five year old mystery around the world in 2014. Probably no easy solution. https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2019/08/26/753834371/whatever-happened-to-the-mysterious-kidney-disease-striking-central-america https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2019/08/26/7538343...
- nchmy 1y agoWhat sort of warped ivory tower thinking is this? It's just self-evident that water is utterly crucial in a setting like this. Why would you only hydrate half of them, in the name of "science"? Give your head a shake FAR better to hydrate everyone, and then look for OTHER factors that might be causing it. Yet, that's self evident as well - too much exertion for too long in too hot/humid climate, with inadequate nutrition and sleep. And then adding caffeine and painkiller addictions on top of it.
