Snohomish Health District is conducting an investigation of a possible illness
outbreak in conservation workers pulling Purple Loosestrife on Spencer Island
in Snohomish County, WA. If you were on Spencer Island the last week in
August'98 or the first week in September'98 please contact me. I am looking
for information on your health and on bird populations (especially migratory
birds) during that time span.
