#7 - Have a chemical plant about 18 miles east of my house (Lubrizol) also
about 20 miles east of here is an abandoned Rayon plant. In this area there
is a sealed of water pool that is so highly toxic no one can get near to it.
Third, I have plant nurseries behind my house (all over this area actually)
The summer before they were doing some sort of crop dusting.

Just for the record, I know of 2 people who had live in this neighborhood and
have MS! My neighborhood is 1 mile around. Also 2 other people in my town
that I know of have TM. One gentleman was sick the same time as me.

It has been interesting to read the results.
