It flatly states my assertion in the document in question:

``WHO estimates that the incidence of pesticide poisoning, already high in
developing countries, has doubled during the past 10 years. However, the
precise annual incidence throughout the world and their severity are
unknown.''

You moron, that's the people who are applying it getting contaminated.
If you want to press for second and third world governments properly
regulating the use of pesticides and educating on their use then I'm all
behind you. It is, however, really a health and safety in the workplace
problem.

If you want to support the case that we know how many pesticide poisoning
cases there are, this is a rather poor document to cite in support -
since it clearly states just the opposite.

No, you are just too blind to understand it.
