from a concerned mom, Aug 26, 1998

To everyone,

Hello. My son was born with hypospadias, a defect of the penis. It is easily treated by surgery, but incidences of this defect have been growing alarmingly (over 200%) in the past twenty years. Why? Because of an increase in pesticides and herbicides that contain endocrine like chemicals. This needs to be brought to the attention of the American public before we are a non-gendered race. Also, these chemicals seem to lead to earlier menarche for females. Please, please PLEASE!!! Stop this insanity of poisoning our population on a scale that is world-wide. Thank you.
