Ban Pesticides - Use Organic Insecticide

Pesticides are Neurotoxins and cause Fetal Abnormalities, Neurotoxicity, Autism, Cancer, Learning and Memory Problems

There are several independent, highly regarded medical and environmental research facilities that have studied the effects of pesticide on the environment, humans, fetuses and animals. Two of which are quoted below. References are provided below for more information.



According to New England Complex Systems Institute and Duke University , "statistical studies show that any birth has a minimum probability of 2/10,000 of microcephaly. We can then consider the alternative that Zika is not the cause of microcephaly. This gives the interpretation that there is no direct link between Zika and microcephaly except for random co-occurrence. An alternative cause of micrcephaly in Brazil could be the pesticide pyriproxcyfen which is cross reactive with retinoic acid which causes microcephaly and is being used in its drinking water." (NECSI and Duke University June 2016).



The cross reaction between pyriproxcyfen with retinoic acid is potentially the same as the cross reaction between organophosphates and Deet, it just exacerbates the toxicity.



Please consider the devastating consequences of poisoning our environment.
