I got my first CH in 1978, Land O Lakes sent these tanker trucks and was dumping their sewage in a field right next to my home, my babie eye swelled so bad, his eye ball literally exploded out of his socket, thank God the swelling went down and he didn't loose his eye, was all family farmers, but several sold out to the corporation, then crop dusters were flying overhead, hitting our home and property as well, amonious hydroxide was dumped all over the fields, a pig farm was built 1/2 mile away, many farmers were getting bad headaches but would not admit to them, they were trying to sell their land, the entire area smelled like a sewage pit, the sticks? Use to think that to, but one farm after the other, EPA told me that over 10,000 chemicals were put on the market each year and none of them were tested for adverse effects on humans, if the farmers would comply to the requests of land o lakes, these nice folks would say their milk was contaminated and put the farmers out of business, no studies were done on the long term effects of all these chemicals dumped on farm lands, other chemicals in other areas resulted in deformed babies, if you want the sticks, try Forest County, WI, nothing up there except trees, observe if your area has an effect on your headaches, starting these at ten years of age is criminal, I am not sure if these chemicals were responsible for my ex-wife's mental disease, ironically she was not the only one, I know of at least three more families that went through the same thing and all ended up in divorce, I could use a chain saw all day without an ill effects, pull the starter now and the exhaust triggers a CH, some farmers spreading this liquid manure simply fell off their tractors and were ran over, cause of death, an accident, I don't think so, CH's changed my entire life, I may be nuts, but I think the chemicals I was exposed to are responsible, I was not this way before.
