Many of my family members develop allergic reactions upon exposure to the substance. My 28 year old cousin who worked for WeedMan one summer and various aquaintances whose businesses involve pesticide spraying developed leukemia. I cannot leave my house without encountering pesticide-sprayed lawns. Moreover, I cannot even leave the windows of my house open without the toxin entering. The smell of the chemical pesticides entering my house is outrageous.
Studies indicate that breastmilk has significant amounts of pesticides in it.
I am a breastfeeding mother. I don't want to see my child or anyone else die of cancer or other illnesses, because of ignorance. Another concern of mine comes into play when I see hospitals having their lawns sprayed with pesticides. That is definately an oxymoron. That is, the sick or injured go there to get treated, yet at the same time hospitals are imposing a health threat.
