Here is a possible causal factor which should be examined - the use of sewage and sludge as fertilizer:

It should be noted that farmers in Alabama have been using human waste (septage) as fertilizer for quite some time. I've seen reports of complaints about this from northern AL counties, and here is a link to a state rule regarding the practice:

When you and your kids swim and play in shit, sooner or later someone is going to get sick. That shouldn't have been too hard to figure out.

Update - 5/3/2022

This liver disease appears to be spreading:
