Pesticides and farm kids
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.
