OJ has captured the heart of netizens with one user calling it the best story ever. Many have also offered help to the Zagame family.
Touching story...BUT potentially alarming toxic exposure for precious OJ! Ash from burned homes, furniture, other items potentially/likely contain toxins, chemicals, potentially asbestos. If breathed in/touched, they can get into the bloodstream and cause health complications.
