Allergy to Bt cotton?

This reminds me of the story I read long time ago of the aerial crop duster who thoroughly cleaned his tanks and filled up with water flavoured with dark grape juice (toxically purple). He then deliberately oversprayed a residential area, and the influx of diseased and dying residents was overwhelming I have had breathing troubles from some brands of grape juice. Some of them use a sulphur compound as preservative. To make water purple with grape juice would take quite a lot, and breathing such is not normal, and might provide a medium for bacteria to grow, too. Yes nocebo(?) effects can occur, as with Pavlov's dogs, but escape or constriction gets attached to certain signals. And I think you will find some people suffering and bearing it rather than be called susceptible to psychogenic factors. The website Brian Harmer referred to links to results of a big study which includes trouble with animlas, too, greater than what I would say could be transferred in sympathy with their owners worries. |
