We absorb them through our skin from cosmetics, toiletries, treated wood, sprayed plants, treated areas of public parks, golf courses, bath water, and swimming pools. We even inhale them in air contaminated with solvents, car fumes, industrial waste, and environmental pollutants.

As a result, our systems usually fail to process and remove most of these chemicals once they have entered our bodies, so their levels start building up inside us.

Wipe feet on a doormat before going indoors from the deck, and wash children's hands after they spend time on the deck or in the playground.

On our second day in Kyaume, Anna and I get a chance to try our hand at the art of tree-planting, with the help of local tree-nursery women.

Quebec now restricts the use of pesticides, for example, in public parks and buildings. When will our government act similarly? In the past our EPA usually required at least ten years to accumulate enough evidence to "begin" to ban a toxic substance. Then it routinely takes a few too many more years before it is more fully banned.

Seriously reconsider any impulse to harvest around parking lots, public parks, fertilized lawns, and any other potentially sprayed or fumigated areas. Avoid harvesting beneath high voltage power lines. These high-tension electric wires must trigger mutations.Yes, it's possible these mutations might prove superior to the normal plants of the species, but the deranging agitation my car radio broadcasts when I drive it near high voltage lines makes me wonder about the organic static occurring within the tissues of those hapless plants growing beneath them.

Most prevalent in cultures where sanitation practices are minimal, toxoplasmas are not uncommon in developed nations, transmitted by cats, dogs, mice, hens or ducks - the latter numerous in ponds and on shore in public parks.
