Keep those crap slapping tails away! Posts: 8871 Location: Around here somewhere...	Would you buy a horse property that had arsenic in the well water? Why/why not? (The Kenai Peninsula in Alaska, in particular) Does arsenic get pulled into the grasses and garden veggies?

Hugs to You Posts: 7551 Location: In The Land of Cotton	They have had big articles in our area about arsenic in the water lately. I actually had our well tested last week for it. We came back clean. However, there is an area east of us that it is in. I personally would find out all I could about it and the damages it could do. One Dr's wife is really advocating not to use it because their son was linked to arsenic poisioning and he died. Research will be your friend.

Elite Veteran Posts: 639 Location: God's country...aka TEXAS	If the levels are high, stay away from it. I bought a horse that had extreme levels are arsenic in his system. I did not know this at the time of purchase but later found out after testing. It took over a year putting him on a detox program to get it out of his system and back to normal again.
