I moved to an agricultural area about 5 years ago. A few years ago I got an adhd diagnosis after my memory got so bad one summer I couldn’t remember the meaning of my sentences well enough to finish what I was saying. While I discovered that I’d had adhd all my life, it has never been as devastating as the time I’ve lived downstream from many farms near Lake Erie. Time for a water filter!! I also have to wonder if the microcystin exposure from the Lake Erie algae blooms each summer also play a part. Every summer it’s like my brain becomes further damaged and less capable of functioning. I’m so angry right now.
