Symptoms Of Exposure

Time and research have definitively shown exposure to pesticides causes serious short and long term negative health affects in us, our children and pets. Immediate symptoms of exposure include irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat; burning, stinging, itches, rashes, and blistering of the skin; nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea; coughing, wheezing, headache, and general malaise.

Long term affects include cancer, behavioral impairment, reproductive dysfunction, endocrine disruption, developmental disabilities, learning disabilities, skin conditions, and respiratory diseases such as asthma.

Children and pets are particularly vulnerable to injury from lawn care products. Their smaller body mass and accelerated metabolisms make it possible for tiny amounts of poisons to move rapidly through the body and damage developing organs.
