Sorry for your loss.
I grew up in a nursery (pretty large wholesale grower) in the 80's and 90's and we hand sprayed everything and handled a lot of chemicals. I've wondered at times if it would cause any health problems, but as of 38 yrs old, nothing. Who knows what will come down the road or the cause. I think overall, it has a lot more to do with what we ingest than what we have handled.

This is true.
His question about chemicals leaching through the soil into the water table is quite completely illogical. The soil types in SWLA are not conducive to leaching of chemicals as they are mostly alluvial clay, which has the near highest binding effects of any soils.
