Nature is a Haunted House

More bits of the puzzle come into focus:  deformed frogs point to boys born with undescended testicles and armies of obese adults.  As if it were invented by a horror writer with Norman Maileresque sexual politics, it sounds like the piss of women on the pill--that all-important pill essential to reproductive freedom--is one of the leading causes of males becoming epidemically... sensitive.
 
Industrial chemicals--for almighty efficiency--and higher yields--more more more!--come back to haunt us, nature taunting us before she exterminates us.
