A member asked:

Living by golf course exposes to the toxicity of the pesticides absorbed.the body must eliminate that, which lowers immunity = higher sickness. true?

Uncertain: There does not appear to be a connection between the immune system and golf courses. It would help us to know what kinds of pesticides your neighbor uses and how you are exposed to them. Then we can be better prepared to answer your question about potential effects. Hope that helps!
