DOES THIS MEAN WE SHOULD STOP DOING POST-FIRE DECON? NO but post-fire skin decon is not a magic bullet solution. Proper use of PPE and other exposure-reduction protocols are also imperative.

Canadian thanksgiving is a tier one holiday. No gifting stress, no pressure to have fun like NYE, excellent food, feels "alt" vs the bloated American version, no religious stuff or pilgrims just a vague "harvest" theme, stuffing, 10/10

As instance & severity of wildland fires⬆️ w climate change, these kinds of studies will be even more relevant: 'In 2018, lead was >40x ⬆️on smoke days on av. at the Point Reyes monitoring station, due mostly to the Camp Fire, burning approx 200 km away' pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
