Acid Rain

Since so many of you are clueless to what it actually is, let me just inform you that it is NOT literally acid that falls from the sky. Acid in its purest form is manmade. It does not exist naturally the way you all have been imagining it in the ORPG. I might edit slightly what i said before. Instead of being less harmful as swimming in a swimming pool its probably about a dangerous. (Yes, acid rain is quite threatening. ) The most dangerous thing aboutacid rain comes both when it is ingested of when you breath in the gasses emitted by it, especially over extended periods of time. So i dont know who has been telling you it burns your skin on contact and what pictures you have seen but whoevers claiming that they were burned from it is absolutely full of themselves.

Ill show you guys a few articules on the subject by some very credible people.

First the US Environmental Protection Agency:

National Geographic:

The Encyclopedia of Earth:

The biggest thing acid rain will do to your skin will make it itch like crazy if its left in contact for long periods of time. Yes i am speaking from experience and no it doesnt burn your skin on contact at all. So, feel free to take a monent to edumacate yourselves.

Like Snowlily said, acid rain hardly effects you directly. It can damage trees and it can pollute the water and kill animals in the water. Damaging trees would lead to lose of homes of birds and small animals which means not much food for the cats. Acid rain in the water could kill the fish. But the only harm it could do to your health directly, is when you inhale the poisonous gas which are like sulfur dioxide (rotten eggs smell) and nitrogen oxides which can cause respiratory diseases.

I sort of figured in terms of the rpg maybe the medicine cats could use camomile, comfrey root and a lot of honey to help with any of the fumes they may have inhaled
