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)

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
