Thanks. There has been a stunning rise in cancers (many of them of a turbo nature) in the last three years.
It is widely documented and, yes, many people much younger than typical are getting them -- as well as heart inflammation problems (myocarditis). It is not a mystery as to why this is happening - it's just that there is deep denial about that as well. Because many people were
directly and repeatedly exposed to those specific chemicals in the past three years and they now live in fear, understandably.
Look, I'm a freedom lover and defender. If people want to slave over their lawns, so be it. But, I do particularly find denial irritating and to believe that routinely dousing your own property in strong chemicals doesn't affect others it simply
nuts. Rain and the run-off it produces sends those chemicals to many other properties. Wind factors too. That is reality.
Fwiw, I'll mention reading about the recent results of a study about possible triggers of ALS (hideous, fatal disease). The study found a higher ratio of people who developed ALS were gardeners and professional athletes of sports played on lawns. The possible conclusion being that it was because of the extra exposure to chemicals being used. Not crazy. Articles about that study can be found online.
