It was almost during the same time that the movie CHILDREN OF THE CORN came out and I remember our kids loved running up and down the rows of corn plants that grew next to our large ‘out in the country’ yard. And yes, many times crop duster planes flew overhead dusting the agricultural fields right next to us with insecticides as our children played outside. If we only knew then what we know now!

I grew up in the central valley. Our family home was surrounded by ag lands.

I remember the sound of those crop dusters as they made their repeated passes over nearby fields.

I have RA, as well as my mother and sister.

Thanks for the post Guy. I will do a little more reading about this possible link.

Take care, hope the RA is behavin’.
