Sirius writes 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?) [-] More likely is Benlate, (benomyl) a fungicide (MBC). Very widely used, approved, very low toxicity, non-mutagenic. If the above symptoms were caused by this product it's widespread use on pretty well all crops would have produced an unmissable epidemic by about 1980.
