| Kuwait is one of the most polluted countries in the Gulf region, with its marine life, atmosphere and soil degrading to alarming levels. Among other reasons, the burning more than 700 oil wells during the 1991 Iraqi invasion. A thick, black cloud was formed that contained several hydrocarbon substances which harmed all aspects of the environment for at least five months. The United Nations has recommended that these hydrocarbon substances be treated biologically instead of thermally. This is because in this method, substances are burnt at 1,500 degree Centigrade.Kuwait's soil has been almost completely polluted (ninety million square meters contaminated), adding that this has a detrimental effect on Kuwait's agriculture, making produce unfit for consumption. The pollution has aggravated due to the Mishref sewage plant spill, saying that it had exposed matter to the public. The incident has placed the government in a position in which it is obliged to meet with the challenges. The northern part of the country, has been used by the Kuwaiti Army as a 'dumpster' for unloading waste. It is also contaminated with Uranium, which has been responsible for the rising cancer rates in the country |

I've read that Vitamin C strengthens the immune system. Take it as a daily supplement, it has no risk of overdose because it is water soluble and therefore the excess is excreted through the urinary system.
When I  low my friends et al give me energy.
