COUNSELOR, N.M. (AP) - On a Tuesday in March, Billton Werito drove his son Amari toward his house in Counselor, New Mexico, driving past natural gas pipelines, wellheads and water tanks. Amari should have been in school, but a bout of nausea and a dull headache kept him from class. "It happens a lot," Amari explained from the backseat.

On a Tuesday in March, as Werito navigated the dirt road leading to their house, Amari was absent from school due to nausea and a headache. "It happens a lot," Amari explained, highlighting a recurring issue linked to the smell of "rotten egg with propane" emanating from nearby natural gas wells.
