I was a small child but old enough to know better. Black leaf 40, a nicotine product used for many years in agriculture, had been placed in tunnels made and inhabited by gophers. I decided to check out an opened tunnel hoping to see a gopher.
I paid for my curiosity; I breathed in the fumes and was immediately unconscious but regained my senses by the time I had been taken to the house. Like most children, I followed the answer to a question by another "why." That characteristic got me in trouble with teachers in elementary school but did me well as a newspaperman later.
