==Illness== Lady Mar came into regular contact with OP sheep dip when dipping her sheep on her farm in the 1980s. She reports having had 'dipping flu' after each occasion of working with sheep dip - runny nose, tight chest and cough - although she did not take much notice of it at the time. It was on one of those occasions, in 1989, when she accidentally spilt some dip into her wellington boot. After several hours, she began to feel the ill effects of skin contact with the dip. Within three weeks, she had developed the first signs of ME/CFS. The next year she spent housebound and largely bedbound, with symptoms including [[concentration problems]], [[myalgia]], [[weight loss]], and [[visual dysfunction | poor focus]] in the eyes.<ref>[http://www.pan-uk.org/pestnews/Issue/Pn35/pn35p4.htm Pesticide Action UK Network - Persistent sheep dip lady: An interview with the Countess of Mar]</ref>
