And the bad news is that some types are far more apt to be swimming in pesticides than others.

One of the worst things about it is the loneliness. It was 2018, and I was 26 years old at the time. For years, doctors had been trying to get to the bottom of some breathing issues I had. I’d already been administered every allergy test available, and I underwent a sinus surgery to improve airflow through my nasal passage. But still, I was prone to getting bronchitis, having shortness of breath, and, even with daily physical exercise, I had the lung capacity of someone double my age. My primary doctor finally decided to set me up for a chest X-ray.

Georgia, for example, is...
