Skunky, I read your post about wanting to share the comparisons of the bell curve with us for the life span of humans vs the bell curve of application of pesticides. I am curious to see how the bell curve of reported cases of cancer compares to the the application of the pesticides as well.
I would like to see a study showing this life span vs. pesticide use.
Equating current life spans to just usage of pesticide is not indicative of anything, especially with technological advances and advances in research in medications and pre-screening of any kind of diseases.
That's like equating life spans prior to penicillin and after.
I'd also like to say that although I dislike pesticides, I use them because the risk is too great in my area in N.Y. of contracting tickborne diseases.
Although dog fly bites hurt, there are other viable safer solutions of which I already posted.
1.2 million dollars could go a long way in that respect.
I still have mixed feelings on mosquito spraying though.
