Over 120 000 tests were made on people in a Black Sea8to measure the number of lymphocytes in their blood. These small cells normally 9between 20 and 25 percent of man's white blood cells, but in years of great solar activity this10 decreases. There was a big drop during the sunspot years of 1986 and 1987, and number of people11from diseases caused by a lymphocyte deficiency 12 doubled during the tremendous solar explosion of February 1986.
