Poison, Dear?



A couple of months ago, we were informed by the health department that some area wells had traces of arsenic. We had our well tested and found that we also have trace amounts of arsenic. We have been using bottled water since we found out - even though our 87 year old neighbor is still drinking her water, shoveling her own driveway, and has no sign of arsenic in her blood! Something about the concept of giving this water to my children is just disturbing. So I have been filling water jugs at our parents', at church, and at friends' houses. I was nearly out of water yesterday, and commented to hubby that we needed more. He responded that it is too much hassle, and we should just drink our own water. He could just say, "Poison, dear? It's very refreshing!" :-)
