I have everything fairly well organized for a bug out. The neighbors across the road received an evacuation notice, but we didn't. My house is as fire resistant as I can make it. Area around cut & trimmed, recently installed ember resistant vents, stucco exterior, no overhangs, tempered glass, etc., etc. - though none of it is a guarantee. The area is a high fire risk area, so we are currently on the California Fair Plan. I really wouldn't want to live elsewhere though. Sunny, usually not too hot, not too cold, snow twice a winter, no traffic (comparatively speaking). Almost every day is a great day!

How did he get it into his system? Breathing it in?..or skin absorption?
Your/his case is the first I've ever heard of it being real.
