Even with the fact that people know the health hazards of using pesticides, there is still a billion pounds of these unhealthy and dangerous pesticides that are being used throughout the USA every year. And while people know how dangerous these pesticides can be people still keep using them.
Even though our food is washed before getting to the grocery store and many people will still rinse the vegetables when they get them home, there are still trace pesticides that people consume, and this is causing some rather large health issues.
These pesticides are also causing health problems with the farmers and there workers. Every year there are over 10,000 pesticide related illnesses reported, and this is only the ones that have been reported. Even the EPA says that this is becoming a major issue.
Larger still are the hazards to pets. According to the American Society for the Prevention of cruelty to animals, there are over 30 thousand pet poisonings caused by pesticides each and every year. These numbers are produced by the animal poison control center.
I am sure you have done this once or twice yourself. You walk out into your driveway and see grass or weeds growing up through the blacktop. So you either run to the kitchen and grab your weed killer from under the sink or you go to the nearest store to buy some and you start spraying it around.
One of the main health issues is that pesticides have been know to cause or contribute to, Parkinson’s disease, cancer and even certain birth defects in our children. What I don’t understand is that with all the evidence out there people continue to use theses pesticides.
One would think that the government would step in and create laws to help regulate pesticides even more. Did you know that pesticide companies don’t even have to test there products meant for home use with the same standards as products for commercial use??? This means that home pesticides can actually be worse for you than commercial pesticides.
So knowing that these chemical pesticides are bad for you and your pets may not be enough so look at this on a planetary scale. These pesticides contaminate our water, soil and air, which means we are killing our own planet. Look at it this way. These pesticides are killing off honeybee’s, if we end up killing off all the honeybee’s, our way of life will be gone. The consequences can be disastrous
Of course we do need to get rid of pest in and around our home but there are organic options that work just as well and in some cases even better. Join that with the fact that you will be helping keep your family and pets healthy, it really is a simple choice. Organic pest removal is the way to go.
