4. The Coneheaded Children of Vietnam
This is why people don’t use Agent Orange in military combat anymore. Soldiers used Agent Orange during the Vietnam War to uncover enemy hiding places and destroying leaves and foliage. The chemical contains dioxin, which is one of the most toxic substances known to man. Unfortunately, the chemical has leached into the soil and water in Vietnam, causing its inhabitants to consume it.
This results in a number of births in which the children were born with coneheads (yes, similar to the movie). 400,000 people have died from complications from dioxin exposure, while thousands of babies have been born with deformed heads and bodies. Some of them have coneheads, others have huge masses attached to their heads, and others have even worse conditions. For instance, one boy was born with his eyelids fused closed, his fingers and toes webbed, and his kidneys malformed. Others are born with cerebral palsy or tiny bodies and huge heads.
