Cheers.


Loved the bit about the oestrogen! Thanks for the smile!

I don't know the answer to this question, but I have wondered why we
haven't heard any reports of people passing away abruptly (or even
procrastinatorily) from treated timber garden improvements. Wouldn't you
think that if the copper salts are all that significantly toxic to
people, there'd be an actual death rate from their use? Does anyone know
of any figures? I mean, if you look in the Australian Year Book, there's
actually a death rate from being hit on the scone by a Bunya Pine Cone
(or, at least, there was last time I looked which was, admittedly, a
good while ago).

I'm afraid I'm with you, Basil! The amount of growth hormone and
antibiotic and other chemicals we actually *eat* each day in our
processed foods ought to have killed us all by now. Like it or not, we
seem to be evolving to cope with all the toxins we generate in and for
our foodstuffs.

My favourite bugbear is pesticides! My DH uses enough Baygon to sink the
Missouri, let alone a tiny cockroach. I *have* to wonder what it's doing
to my family! (NB. This is where your Riding Boots come in - they're far
more effective on cockroaches than *any* insecticide!) ;-D

Just for the record and for a totally inane first post to the group - Lemon
Preen has the fastest knockdown on cockroaches of anything in any kind of
bottle you can buy - short of belting them *with* the bottle anyway. grin
