The most interesting aspect of this phenomenon is that it has exploded
very quickly. All the people who I've heard talk about it essentially
say that the number and form of frog mutations has had a huge increase
within the past three or so years. The mutations seem to be
proportional to the amount of time the frog species is in water.
The EPA suspects an air-born contaminant because of the speed of
transmission and the range over which the problem has been seen.
