"Probably" depresses the immune system? Is there any evidence to support
this statement?
Has anyone tested the effects of the truck's exhaust fumes on the hives on the
flatbed trailers? I know that most tractors hauling flatbed trailers exhaust
the gases up and behind the cab of the tractor. These fumes then are washed
down over the flatbed by the passage of air over the tractor cab and trailer.
Just thought I 'd poke another stick in the pot and stir. Mike in LA
