Low dose pesticides

Post by JFH »

Here's an interesting discussion from the BBC's Farming Today This Week programme. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/radio4_a ... adio4/fttw

You hear a contributor, a lady with MS, describing a cluster of people, 5 in all, from a small village in the South of England each of whom contracted MS. She attributes this to the use and drift of pesticides locally. [I'm not convinced maybe a correlation but not necessarily a cause.]

Some pesticides were chemically similar to nerve gases. I don`t know if they still are, but contact with pesticides is something to avoid, they can harm people too.
