My daddy spent couple weeks clearing out bamboo at my brothers house. He dug down about six feet grabbing and cutting out roots. He found a barrel in the ground in the mist of bamboo. it was full of water and bamboo and he put his arm in it up to his armpit to get roots out. Well that was in January and about a week later his arm went numb and he has gotten real sick. the dr have run test after test trying to figure it out and finding nothing. Daddy just remembered the bamboo and we wonder if it can poison your system. like i said they have checked everything but is bloodwork is screwy and he is very weak. He has never been sick in his 87 years. we are grasping at straws but maybe someone on here has gotten sick. thank you
