When ever you see the word “MAY” you know they don’t have a clue but the people paying for the research want to scare people over something so they issue a report with all the right waffle words so when proven wrong they can say we did not claim anything, only that something “may” happen.

They probably used wax. Now, we use toxic chemicals for everything.

Every time I go to Walmart I buy a $2 styrofoam cooler to bring home and set alight in my back yard, just to make certain we’re all dead in 10 years.
