Amusing how they claim that soil ‘increases risk of killer heart disease’ yet provide no actual evidence.
Despite those people, farmers, gardeners that had being working with soil for years having health issues when working with soil.
Unless that soil is GMO based.

It's "The Sun".
It's like saying it's "The National Enquirer".
Yes, sometimes they get a story that's accurate, but for the most part, it's a "rag" old women read before bingo starts.

I’ve been a long time gardener, let me tell you this is not new.
There have been a few deaths from people inhaling too much potting soil while starting seedlings. There is a bacteria that can be deadly.
There is definitely a risk. It’s not funny and it’s not like people are sniffing it, the soil has a tendency to go airborne.
Back in the old days it was considered unhealthy to live deep in the forest because of the effects on your lungs. The soil carried bacteria and mold and the air was thick. From what I remember it was actually healthy short term, but long term could cause lung damage.
I would highly highly suggest anyone working with light soil like peat moss to wear a mask.
I do and have well before covid.
Also with all the chemtrails these days, who knows what is in the soil.

This makes total sense. Maybe not related, but my Mom, who contracted polio in 1946 when she was two years old, told me that a few days before she wound up in the hospital for polio that she had been playing in the dirt and maybe even ingested some of it, being a two year old and all. She told me once that she had heard that there might have been bacteria in the dirt that caused her body to have an immune response and get polio.

Hydro works fantastic for weed, but if you use it for vegetables, to me they taste like crap. I did try this as an experiment with tomato’s. Artificial light, and chemically amended water do nothing for flavor, unless it’s weed.

You must be new...
Talking about drugs is totally forbidden on ATS ala the T&Cs; Thus my avoidance of mentioning the crops. Euphemisms are explanations enough unless you are a total noob.
