Oz,
Your post (as header) could be very misleading, I'll
explain.

For most of my working life, I'm 61 now, I've worked
around farms and livestock and as a gamekeeper. Handled more than my share
of pesticides, antibiotics
and poisons.

4yrs ago (November) I had a chest infection, no problem,
the following March I collapsed, rushed into hospital with
pneumonia. Doctors pumped in the antibiotics as they do.
Result, Brians gradually leaving this world, massive reaction to medication,
temperature of the scale, packed in ice for 48hrs.Awoke to see family
including 87yr old
Mum, around bed,with expressions on faces I never want to see again.

During following 3wks Doctors and specialist went thru
my working history, asking for all the details of chemicals
I had used/handled.No definitive answers but organophosphates(sheep dip)
probably caused adverse
reaction, but last time I came into contact with organo's
was at least 15yrs ago.

Outcome: I can no longer work, can only drive 10mile max, continual loss of
balance due to constricted blood supply to brain, walk as tho I'm
half-cut(****ed).

So to say pesticides are not residual in these children, may
be incorrect, and may not be apparent until there is an adverse reaction to
other drugs, God forbid

Remember I had only been to see a doctor 3 times in 50yrs.......now I'm
there every bloody month.
