"[MANATEE COUNTY, Florida] As the investigation into toxic Chinese drywall
continues, a single street in Manatee County appears to be ground zero for
the largest cluster of problem homes."

It is alleged that fumes from the Chinese drywall causes health problems,
corrodes electrical appliances, causes air conditioners to fail, make
exposed wiring turn black and fall off (like leprosy), and other maladies.
