HOUSEBOATS
Seventy-four people suffered carbon monoxide poisoning, and seven of these died, while standing or swimming near houseboat swim platforms during the 1990s at Lake Powell, on the Arizona-Utah border. You'd think that after the first twenty or thirty collapsed, the others would have found somewhere else to swim. |
HOUSING, PUBLIC
People who live in public housing have more than double the normal risk of being victims of handgun violence. If you've ever seen the luxuries of public housing, you'll understand: you'd feel like shooting someone, too. |
HOUSING, STUDENT
Student housing, which tends to be cheap and is therefore often dank and moldy, can significantly increase an undergraduate's risk of asthma, pneumonia, and bronchitis. If you're living a typical undergraduate life, though, this won't affect you much, because you'll only see your place every few weeks. |
HOUSTON
Houston, you have a problem. Houston is the fattest city in America. |
HUNTING
The risk of having marked hearing loss increases 7 percent for every five years a person has hunted. But remember, guns don't cause deafness; people cause deafness. |
HUTTERITE, BEING A
Hutterites in Canada were found to have more neurotic disorders than the general population. |
