There was no forced change. The EPA did study after study,

regulation, but due to the fear of lawsuits from idiots.

I have worked with CCA for over 30 years. I have been exposed
to it for that amount of time in a manner that would cause far
more than the minimal contact that a child would ever get,
yet, I am fine. So are all of the other 400 or so carpenters
that I know or have known personally. So where did you get
your data again. How long do you think that I have to live?

Due to the fact that I was forced to be exposed to it, I have
done extensive research on the subject and I can tell you that
you are simply wrong. Unless you burn it, you have nothing to
fear from the old CCA. And neither does anyone else.

Worry about lightning. Or your salt intake. It will be far
more productive.

He got his information from a pediatrician. The fact that pediatricians poll
their young patients over gun handling by the parents is sufficient evidence
to conclude pediatricians are loons and can safely be ignored in areas
outside their experience. Inasmuch as no pediatrician anywhere has ever
experienced a medical problem originating from CCA, I'd say their competence
on this score is zero.

But it's worse. There are people who run their lives based on the statements
of loons.
