kids are especially susceptible to this pesticide. Not good for adults either, causes memory loss, etc.
It's widely used on all sorts of vegies, fruits, wheat, etc. Here's a bunch of them that I found while studying it: wheat, apples, grapes, strawberries, lemons, oranges, leafy greens, broccoli, cauliflower, alfalfa, grass seed fields, golf courses, etc.
It's also sprayed heavily on your fresh Christmas trees. It harms wildlife of all kinds, fish, birds especially Robins. Been wondering what happened in past years to our Robins who are hardly ever seen anymore, now I know why.
I'm hoping to post more info on this horrid pesticide, a DOW owned chemical invented by the Nazis during WW2!
They used it in concentration camps.

As a beekeeper I will dance when this pesticide is
banned. It builds up in the wax. Contaminates honey.
Weakens the bees immune system. A probable contributor
(its not just one cause) to CCD. Consumers have no clue
what is in their honey. Best to buy local from a
beekeeper you know. From an area that is safe.

I'm lucky as we do have local beekeepers at our outdoor
markets selling their honey. Most of the honey now in
supermarkets is just sugar water...kudos to you Teresa
for being a beekeeper and letting people know what's
going on.
