Pitcher, Oklahoma is the most toxic town in America for many reasons. It used to be a mining town, and currently has high levels of poisonous metals still in ground. This poison can seep into drinking water, and lead to lead poisoning. There is also a high chance of cave-in's since the ground is so unstable from the mining efforts.
