Extremely rare cancer striking kids in rich SoCal city takes worrying turn — as possible cause emerges

Families in a rich California enclave have claimed an extremely rare cancer has struck more people than first feared and that its root cause could be due to the rampant use of pesticides. Locals in Ladera Ranch, Orange County, have spent months raising concerns after at least six local children were diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma, a bone and soft tissue cancer that affects only about 200 to 240 children nationwide each year. Now, residents say their own investigation has uncovered what they believe is an unusually heavy use of pesticides and herbicides throughout the community and that more than 60 people could be impacted.
