[Access] Fw: [UUCE-Chat] Common Scents

[Robert Kaeser]

I think you have been told wrong.  I  would challenge them with an 
all natural "organic" skunk.  Some people are actually allergic to 
some flowers.  I was told by a school nurse that there are some kids 
that are so allergic to peanuts that they get a reaction just being 
around someone eating peanuts.  What's in the air doesn't even have 
to have an odor to cause a reaction.  I doubt  anyone can smell mold, 
but plenty of people are allergic to mold.  Carbon monoxide is an 
"organic" all natural poisonous gas found in cisterns and underground 
utility ducts produced by rotting vegetation.

"Science, for its progress, its understanding and so on, depends so 
much on truth and clarity.  And the question is: Are we living in a 
society where truth and clarity are an important element of our 
culture?" --- I. I. Rabi
