A study carried out by researchers from the Department of Radiology and Physical Medicine of the University of Granada, in collaboration with the Andalusian School of Public Health (Escuela Andaluza de Salud Pública), found that 100% of Spaniards analyzed had at least one kind of persistent organic compound (POC´s), substances internationally classified as potentially harmful to one’s health, in their bodies. These substances enter the body trough food, water or even air. All of them tend to accumulate in human adipose tissue and easily enter into the organism through the aforementioned mediums.

1. One day in Florida, I came home from school and all my pet Easter chicks were dead.

Seems a pest control guy sprayed DDT too close to their pen. It was used to control chinch bugs in the grass.
We breathed that stuff for years when they sent out trucks and sprayed for mosquitoes in Florida.

It was a summer ritual.
