A golfist mysterious death

On August 1982, a golfist George Prior died mysteriously because of an strange illness. He
went to the Army Navy Country Club near Arlington Virginia like he used to go to play golf, the camp was very green a perfect for playing. One day, after playing he returned home felling sick with nauseas and headache. He though that it was flu so he ignored it and continued going. By the end of the third day he was feeling very ill and he collapsed on the ground.

He was taken to the hospital with several red spots that started to appear in his body. Doctors didnt know what was happening to him. Prior got worst and after two weeks he died. He was 30 years old.
After his death,  doctors were investigating and concluded that the cause of his illness was an allergic reaction because of the pesticide that were in the golf camp of the Army Navy Country Club that kept the grass green and insects free. The infection happened because he put the tee of the golf ball in his mouth every time he hit the ball while he played.

George’s wife filed a $20 million lawsuit against the Army Navy Country Club because of the risks of using that kind of pesticides.
