Every surface. You can reduce the numbers by "washing", but you also need to maintain your "bariers" lie skins, etc. It is a life long battle every living organism faces. |

Whereas not wearing a mask brought them closer to God? Well yes, but from what I gathered they might come from families that had worked in the quarry, at least the quarry was on an island so the available pool of laborers must have been small, so they might not have realized that working at the quarry without a mask was the reason that their uncle died at the age of 45. But then, there is evidence that coal was mined in England prior to the arrival of the Romans, nearly 2,000 ago, so "Black Lung" must have a long tradition :-) -- cheers, John B. |
