DoomsdaysCW<p>So yeah. Someone here asked me for advice on something that they suspected was Lyme Disease, but was blown off as "poison ivy" by a physician. After looking at photos of what I recognized as a Lyme circle and asking about specific symptoms, I suggested they consult another physician and get a test. It turns out that Lyme was an issue. When in doubt, don't mess around! Physicians today are encouraged for quantity not quality and might miss symptoms!

Reck<p>"Lets face it, there is no escaping the petrochemical fallout. There are very few, if any, closed systems. I'm sure, with the proper testing, we can find trace amounts of incredibly toxic hydrocarbons throughout our environment.</p><p>Instead of focusing on the problem, we should focus on solutions, especially in our gardens. Fortunately, there are some ways to mediate the effects of potentially toxic chemicals. Companion planting with saprophytic fungi will increase hydrocarbon degradation rapidly, as these organisms have the exoenzymes capable of long-carbon-chain cleavage. One can also research bio-chelation, or using organisms to bind potentially toxic metals.</p><p>In my garden, I tend to not worry so much about these issues. Though, I strive for biodiversity and permaculture more than monocrop agriculture. I think the key is to have many organisms that are capable of remediation. Its also useful to be mindful of plants that can potentially hyper-accumulate unwanted metals and compounds."</p><p>From u/echinops on a r/gardening post about chemophobia from 2010</p><p>Hoping to find more info about toxins and petrochemicals like this.
