PATRICK J. MARTIN said " My environmental exposures include: " Casting lead soldiers in a closed basement for hours on end while in grad " school. " Coating pennies with mercury from broken thermometers and sucking on them " the salty taste. " Operating a school lab storeroom to dispense items such as benzene, " halogenated " hydrocarbons, concentrated acids and the like. " Inhaling nitroglycerin fumes while working as a "hole-blaster" during WW2 " Inhaling daily doses of DDT that was sprayed over our island to keep the " mosquitos down. " Operating quality control laboratories for a cannon and rocket propellant " plant. " This exposed me to nitrated amines, nitrated aromatics, mercury, halogena " hydrocarbons and benzene, of course. " I guess I haven't been too kind to my head but I can't sort out which " exposures " did what to my dopamine sources of supply. And do you glow in the dark?
