Skarpi: "...if all that fluor goes into the ground and the animals eat that grass that will grow after the eruption they will die ."

Is that really so, Skarpi? When Mt. Saint Helens went up my brother got up at 3:00 AM and herded his cows into the barn so the next morning they wouldn't eat the grass that was covered in wet blobby ash and pumice.

However, after the eruption the soil became extremely fertile and crop output was greatly boosted.
