the deformities which are appearing in frogs across North America
could be caused by a chemicals which interfere with an enzyme found
in their nervous systems. This interference disrupts growth and
causes limb deformities. The chemicals which interfere with these
frog enzymes can be found in pesticides and nerve gases. 3 APRIL 1999, P. 26
