Seriously Rev, you gotta chill out a little bit. Evrything in the world is a toxin, it just depends on the dose.

While one should be skeptical about the safety of food additives and pesticides, you can't assume that just because something is bad in larges doses that it's bad in small doses.

Educate, don't scare.

Whoops, didn't see Megan's answer there. My bad.

Our manager has been completely ineffective, and even in denial, about a couple of important issues, and is starting to accuse us (without saying it) of being oversensitive or just bitchy.

If there is an actual problem with the electricity, THEN I will bring it to their attention, of course, but I don't want to have any more "issues" than have already been brought up. We had similar issues in another apartment in the same building, so don't know if it's the whole building that screwed up or what.
