Comments on: Veterinarians Asked to Report Pesticide Poisoning Incidents http://www.beyondpesticides.org/dailynewsblog/?p=1062 News on pesticide science, policy and activism Tue, 18 Jun 2013 22:36:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Rebecca Snider http://www.beyondpesticides.org/dailynewsblog/?p=1062#comment-148881 Rebecca Snider Mon, 16 Jul 2012 11:58:21 +0000 http://www.beyondpesticides.org/dailynewsblog/?p=1062#comment-148881 I have spraying of Thiamethoxam (Actara) on Pecan trees within the “air drift” of my home. I have lost one dog and another is declining now as well as I have health issues which could be related to the above insecticide. My immediate plan is to contact my state’s Dept of Ag and have soil sampling done.

A friend’s property tested positive and she lives 1.5 miles west and the pecan orchards are inclusive of both our properties.

I don’t know if this has any connection with my dogs’ problems (neurological) but I will keep this site in mind if things proof positive.

If he had listened, and given our cat atropine, it might have been spared a slow horrible death. I decided to treat the other cat myself with iv’s and medication……..it was yellow, dying,neurologically impaired, and lost half its body weight in Feb to March….but is now on the mend.
Why does Florida continue to turn a blind eye to children and pets who are being harmed and killed on a daily basis?!!!
Cosmetic lawn and pond care should be more highly regulated. Compliance does all they can to enable big business to continue to poison us.

I’ve seen this repudiation in a number of other documents and wonder why the 1991 study is still listed as valid.
