Are any pesticides safe?
Most of us think we’re protecting ourselves from noxious chemicals when we filter our water or buy organic food. We forget about things we are constantly exposed to: insecticides. A very popular group of bug-killers, pyrethroids and pyrethrins, accounts for 1/4 of the pesticide market.
Pyrethroids and pyrethrins are thought to be safe due to their botanical origins. However, the only testing the government has done has been on rats, not humans. Over 90,000 adverse reactions have been reported, and these indicate serious health risks.
