I spoke with a parent who shared a story. She knew of an individual that actually died of Wilson's disease (genetic copper metabolism condition), possibly related to contaminated water in a dormitory. This is just an anecdote, true I am sure, but not scientific evidence. I know that the chance of a Wilson's case is 1 in 30,000. But interesting to me how hearing about a specific case makes the risk much more real.
