Being a born/bred CA fellow I am awre of how we are taken so oddly yet
so many of our "fears" which turned into recommendations which turned
into US standards which turned into world concerns have been important
findings in what causes some social diseases and perhaps why so many are
affected by stress.
Another recent one is pregnant women using flea/tick bombs in the home.
Their children have a propensity to develop brain tumors at a very early
age.
The idea is to protect yourself at all times when using esoteric (I use
the term when we are "playing" to learn in alt. photog.) chemicals … and
I take all this stuff seriously even though I'm a cum grano salis (with
a grain of salt)type of person.
