When Tom Hammers accidentally cuts his finger, he can't feel the pain.
His nerves were damaged at age 16 by drinking water from a tainted well. It happened in 1972, the summer that changed his life.
That year, Hammers and 12 other employees of his father's construction business drank water from a new well at the company's office. The water tasted good. Nobody knew the well had penetrated an old arsenic dump.
