Question

Geologist are on the way to investigate what some are descriping as a meteorite crater in Peru.Local who when to the crater claim to be sicken by gases from the crater.whats your take?

Answer 1

My take is what the experts find; provided it is logical.
"Jorge Lopez, director of the health department in the state where the meteorite crashed, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that 200 people suffered headaches, nausea and respiratory problems caused by "toxic" fumes emanating from the crater, which is some 65 feet wide and 15 feet deep.
But a team of doctors sent to the isolated site, 3 1/2 hours travel from the state capital of Puno, said they found no evidence the meteorite had sickened people, the Lima newspaper El Comercio reported Wednesday.
Modesto Montoya, a member of the team, was quoted as saying doctors also had found no sign of radioactive contamination among families living nearby, but had taken blood samples from 19 people to be sure. He said fear may have provoked psychosomatic ailments."

Answer 2

Probably hydrogen sulfide. Chances are people will die, or permanently lose their sense of smell.
