The best guesses are both chronic rather than single acute injuries. High heat, dehydration, hard work, exposure to nitrites and who knows what else.
It’s mysterious because the specific etiology is unclear and therefore hard to prevent, since telling field workers not to work in the heat will be ignored by all involved.
- junofan 1mo agoCheck the references. They’re weak, almost ouroboric. I found this: (2010) Positive association of renal insufficiency with agriculture employment and unregulated alcohol consumption in Nicaragua https://doi.org/10.3109/0886022X.2010.494333 https://doi.org/10.3109/0886022X.2010.494333 Essentially moonshine consumption. Interestingly drinking more water was associated with worse outcomes. I would hesitate to point to dehydration without evidence, as a harmful remedy is worse than doing nothing. Moonshine consumption could probably be investigated further as it carries explanatory power.
