Dow Chemicals created a pesticide called Picloram, that apparently is behind the rise of colorectal cancer in young adults. And it hasn’t been reviewed by the EPA since the 90s but now a new study establishes the link between the pesticide - which is still legal to use - and this cancer epidemic.

Scary stuff .. I have seen up close family members undergoing treatment for a different cancer. Believe me, it is harsh, changes the rest of your life for the worse.
..
Consider living in a townhouse and never having to handle these toxic chemicals ever. And saving oodles of your time for more fun stuff.
