North Korea Nuclear Tests Are Spreading 'Ghost Disease'
North Korea’s nuclear test are spreading a “ghost disease” that is deforming babies and sickening civilians exposed to radiation, defectors said in a report published Sunday.
“So many people died we began calling it 'ghost disease,’” Lee Jeong Hwa, a defector who used to live by a nuclear testing site, told NBC News.
"We thought we were dying because we were poor and we ate badly. Now we know it was the radiation.
Lee is one of 30 defectors from North Korea’s Kilju county who has been tested by South Korea’s Ministry of Unification for radiation contamination. Since fleeing the isolated empire in 2010, she said she has suffered chronic pain as a result of living near North Korea’s Punggye-ri nuclear testing site.
Another defector from Kilju, Rhee Yeong Sil, said a neighbor of hers gave birth to a deformed baby who didn’t have genitals. The North Korean government often kills deformed babies, so the parents killed the child themselves, Rhee said.

Just last night I watched Part One of an Al Jazeera documentary on the U.S. atomic tests on Bikini Atoll/Marshall Islands. Basically people being used as radiation guinea pigs and the place becoming uninhabitable.
