Dozens of deaths recently reported, particularly in Thailand. Pesticide poisoning, whether due to self, accidental, occupational or for homicidal purposes, is a global public health problem, and self-poisoning accounts for one-third of the worlds suicide rate. In fact, in some parts of developing countries, pesticide poisoning causes more deaths than infection. Each year around 300,000 deaths occur worldwide due to pesticides. The organophosphate, organochlorines and aluminum phosphide (AlP) compounds are commonly used pesticides. AlP is being used as a common outdoor and indoor pesticide in developing countries as it is cheap, effective, free from toxic residue and does not affect seed viability. Also glyphosate from Round Up, is now being detected in all air samples! This also eats holes in our gut and affects our brains. If we outlawed GMO corn, like in Europe, we wouldnt need glyphosate !!!!
