That's amazing TIC is the largest avocado producer in the state at 1.100 acres and the 2nd largest avocado producer in the state only has 100 acres. It's even more amazing the Tustin Costco just a couple of miles from these avocado orchards sells avocados from Mexico.lnc said:hello said:I think the irvine company owns these orchards. I spoke to a representative from irvine pacific and he said the orchards are actually owned by TIC.
Not only TIC own these avocado orchards, they are making a killing on it. TIC produce 10 millions ponds of avocado a year and the revenue rumors to be $14 millions a year.

Not sure why you're asking me specifically. I never undermined your investigation into your child's symptoms. I was more musing as to where you draw the line in general. Which I guess is what you're asking here. Do you draw the line at moving? If the pesticides at OH directly made my kid sick, then yea, I would GTFO.

Before we bought our current home we lived in Canyon Creek, which was near the Orange groves to the north and a nursery to the east and no one ever complained about pesticides. What makes OH different? If it is, you signed the disclosures about pesticide use before you bought your homes.

qwerty said:@ jbean - i do have kids. If the pesticides were causing my kids issues I would sell the house and move. Probably to a coastal area where the air is probably cleaner. I don't think you will get a dr to tell u without any doubt it is the pesticides so I would try a couple of different things. I would probably live in a hotel by the coast (Newport or Costa Mesa) for a couple of weeks to a month and if the symptoms went away then it would seem something in the OH area is causing the problem and then I would lost the house ASAP while keeping my kids at the hotel till we found a place.
