If you mean humans used as pesticide "test animals" sure they have.
Several not too distant studies are around on different products. EPA
had quit accepting such data only as recent as 1998 for regulatory
purposes on pesticides. So it's ethical to admit such studies on
chemicals used as pharmaceuticals which may only effect a small part of
the population and unethical for the same type of studies on another
chemical that by it's usage may effect a much larger percentage of the
population because it is called a pesticide.
