PesticidesPoison Poison Poison Pathogen PoisonPatheticPoison!

Pesticides are killing us. Slowly and surely the poisons used to kill insects and fungus are upsetting the natural order, affecting other species on up through the food chain and now we are seeing the results.

What is a pesticide Poison ?

"Broadly defined, a pesticide is any agent used to kill or control any pest. Pests can be insects, rodents or birds, unwanted plants (weeds), fungi, or microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses. Though often misunderstood to refer only to insecticides, the term pesticide also applies to herbicides, fungicides, microbiocides, rodenticides and various

other substances used to control pests. Under United States law, a pesticide is also any substance or mixture of substances intended for use as a insect or plant growth regulator, insect mating disruptor or egg sterilant, defoliant, or desiccant. Many household products are pesticides, such as cockroach sprays and baits, rat poisons, pet flea collars, products that kill mold and mildew, and kitchen disinfectants.
