Yes, you certainly documented your case that it happened.

I guess I was/am the only person here with an innate aversion to inhaling droplets of insecticide, then and now.

I remember worrying about the smoke from a dump when I was 8 in 1964.

I could have seen myself watching the mosquito truck junkies from a distance and wondering WTF (although the acronym probably wasn’t invented yet) are those people thinking?

This apparently was the same mentality that led to cavalierly handling mildly radioactive items in the late forties. After all, the authorities would tell us if it might be dangerous.

Evidently it hadn’t occurred to anyone that problems might not manifest for a few decades.

We had a couple of kids like you in school too, we didn’t see them much after school though.
