This is the most horrific thing I have seen in a long time and this the second time I have had to read about something like this. I work for a company that caused this to happen to another family in a different place using different fumigants but it brings me back to that time and I am weeping now.

I wept to my wife when I heard of my company's malfeasance in their failure to ensure that nobody was harmed in that other place. I have since witnessed a top to bottom realignment of priorities in my workplace to focus on safety...too little, too late - they did crime then that to meet profit margins and they still hold that most dear despite lip service to "safety first".

I'm so very sad that this happened again to another family and I hope that the perpetrators (most likely managers pushing production goals) pay a heavy price for their crime. (spoiler alert, at my company the bad guys were not properly punished and I am still salty about that).

Sucks to carry that - therapy can be very helpful if you’re open to it.

Not too open or else the fumes will get in.
