Study documents degree of pesticide exposure in farm families

A new study from University of Minnesota and Emory University shows the
vast majority of spouses and children who live on farms that use certain
pesticides, do not show an appreciable level of increased exposure to
the chemicals.

I know a lady who had a son in 1997. He was born blind and disabled and has
since died. She said this was caused by the spraying of Benzomate on brussel
sprouts in a nearby field, while she was pregnant, IIRC.

(What is Benzomate? Is it still used?)
