Steve,
I thought I would share with you my son Louis' letter to the EPA.  I hope everyone will take
the time to write.

Hi.  My name is Louis Carroll.  I am 9 years old.  I was poisond by dursban when I was 4.  My life has
been realy affected by pesticides.  When I am exposed to any pesticides I go into seeshers.  It is terrible.
Sometimes I dont stop for weeks and that made me alergic to a lot of other things like msg, food
colorings and things like that.  My life is terrible because of pesticides. Please take them off the market.

Recent note from Louis' Mother:

We have been having a terrible time. Our little one, Ryan (5) has been having partial seizures from cigarette & fabric softener exposures. He jerks his head back and forth in a yes pattern - we are afraid this will cause brain damage and harmful swelling. As you probably know, he is a Dursban victim and is terribly chemically sensitive like his brother, Louis (10 now).  He also has been tested and they think he may have diabetes type I.  Anyone who doesn't believe pesticides affect children should spend some time at our house. More tests and doctors visits on Monday.

you might appreciate it too.

Take Care and Thanks for all you do!

Sue
