I find it most alarming to see the rise in food allergies of all kinds... red meat due to tick bites, nut allergies, gluten intolerance... the list grows ever longer.

heck, I know for a fact that I've been sprayed with DDT... they used to go through the streets at night and spray for mosquitoes when I was a kid. Who knows how much mercury and lead I've been exposed to... should look into getting those last silver almalgam fillings replaced...

Of ccourse, to keep it in some small perspective... the first major air pollutant on our plant was oxygen gas... we went from a reducing to an oxidizing environment and toasted a whole bunch of non- photosynthesizing beasties... maybe our turn is coming quicker than we thought.
