Please watch the video below. This is frightening and totally unacceptable. The time for President Obama to get involved is NOW. On Sunday night, someone was using crop dusters to (allegedly- and I only say this because I wasn’t there- although plenty of people were AND took video) spray the water protectors with pesticides- ON PRIVATE TRIBAL LAND. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lCJ9RDCKFM&feature=youtu.be Thank you to everyone who has gone to Standing Rock to help. And thank you to all the actors (including most recently, Neil Young on his 71st birthday) and activists who are using their large platforms to bring attention to this […]
[…]stop growing sugar or mining for phosphorus fertilizer. But the one thing that we can do is stop spraying and killing the filter! So let’s just do that!”1 According to CNN, the FWC declined five requests for interviews or comments. They have also not stated what new ideas they received or when they might be tested. Sadly, for now, the airboats and helicopters keep […]
[…]their information so it can be added to our records. We also add the information to our truck spraying maps in order to avoid spraying those areas as well. Our Mosquito Control uses Trumpet for most aerial adulticiding. Fyfanon is used when spraying in the McClellanville/Awendaw area. Trumpet has the active ingredient of Naled. Trumpet is different because it is a water based product, not an oil. For safety information on Naled, please visit the Environmental Protection Agency website here:https://www.epa.gov/mosquitocontrol/naled-mosquito-control For more information on our Mosquito Control operations, visit our website at http://www.charlestoncounty.org/departments/public-works/mosquito-about.php. Now, you all tell me, is this […]
[…]Journalists Although there was no reported evidence of harm caused to humans by the incident, spraying methyl parathion “would plainly violate” the ban, William Jordan, a former deputy director of EPA’s pesticides office, told POGO in an email. People spraying the pesticide, and likely their corporate employer, “would be liable for the violation.” “Monsanto is the expert at this, so it’s not like some farmer who may not be aware of the law,” added Fred Burnside, a former senior EPA criminal enforcement official. In his opinion, the apparent downgrading of charges by Main Justice in the Monsanto case “is odd […]
[…]being applied to the aircraft’s internal surfaces as well which means that if they aren’t spraying, you and I are still breathing this stuff in. Or ingesting it. Since the spraying began, passengers have reported flu-like symptoms, sinus issues, rash/hives, headaches, and swollen joints- and that’s just some of what’s been reported; far more serious issues like acute respiratory problems and anaphylactic shock have also occurred. But don’t worry, the WHO says there is no evidence that spraying insecticide in enclosed spaces, onto people, is dangerous. The most common pesticides used on airplanes are the synthetic pyrethroids permethrin and d-phenothrin […]
[…]the Zika epidemic is unlikely to stop, so you should protect your family from dangerous aerial spraying or fogging chemicals; get your hands on the spray schedules for your city or neighborhood. As reported by The Institute For Natural Healing, most aerial mosquito spraying occurs in the two hours before sunset and the one after. Make sure to stay inside during these times, and don’t forget to close windows and keep your pets inside. Also, make sure to get clothes and toys inside, and cover sandboxes and swimming pools. If you must be outside, make sure to wear long sleeves […]
[…]Rio Piedras campus, sent City of Miami Mayor Tomás Regalado a letter demanding Miami stop spraying naled. (The letter should have gone to Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez, because the county handles mosquito-control spraying.) “We all have heard of the intention to fumigate Miami with naled, and with all due respect, we are starting to see in Florida a repeat of what we went through: Public servants not reading the science that is in front of them,” writes Melendez-Ackerman, who was active in the movement to ban naled in Puerto Rico.” Dr. Elvia Melendez-Ackerman even went on to criticize the U.S. government […]
[…]water and he said it tastes like roach spray. Consequences of Naled Pesticide Exposure When the spraying stopped he immediately went and washed his hands and that’s when the headache started (he described it as more of a headache you get when you have a hangover- you know, when poison is running through your system). The nausea started then, too. While his headache lasted until Monday the nausea stayed until Tuesday. He also had cold-like symptoms. Naled Pesticide Dissipation Dr. Aileen Marty, a Florida International University infectious disease specialist, says that being too close to spraying can be very problematic for […]
[…]track of huge volumes of information. Van Strum provided guidance to others filing suit over spraying in national forests and helped filed another case that pointed out that the EPA’s registration of 2,4-D and other pesticides was based on fraudulent data from a company called Industrial Bio-Test Laboratories. That case led to a decision, in 1983, to stop all aerial herbicide spraying by the Forest Service.” And now, with the advocacy wheels set in motion, her residence became home to more than “100,000 pages of documents obtained through legal discovery in lawsuits against Dow, Monsanto, the Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Forest Service, the Air Force, and […]
[…]prevent harm from glyphosate to an unpredictable bird or bee flying through the air at the time of spraying. PENDING ASSESSMENTS Surprisingly, the EPA does acknowledge some potential future changes in environmental use. Due to the case Center for Biological Diversity et al., v. United States Environmental Protection Agency et al., the EPA will need to do additional assessments on the impact to endangered species: Although the agency is not making a complete endangered species finding at this time, the mitigation described in this document is expected to reduce the extent of environmental exposure and may reduce risk to listed […]
[…]grocery stores is like going on a field trip to the pharmacist, but another concern is how this spraying will “affect bees, which pollinate citrus flowers, as well as small mammals like rabbits. In the environment, antibiotics can change the chemistry of soil and water, knocking ecosystems out of balance.”5 RELATED STORY: How dirt could save humanity from an infectious apocalypse In the hopes of combating that issue, agricultural officials and growers will cycle between different antibiotics. But Keep Antibiotics Working says there’s no good science to show that would work and according to Donley, these drugs are nothing more than “a really […]
[…]of Michigan study was published in the journal Environment International. RELATED ARTICLES: Zika Spraying Enriches Chemical Companies While Endangering Public Health Photojournalist Describes Naled Exposure: ‘I Got Showered With Spray From a Plane’ Using cord blood from 237 mothers who gave birth to healthy babies at a hospital in southeast China between 2008 and 2011, researchers found that at six weeks, the babies displayed no problems. However, at nine months, the babies suffered from slight problems with coordination, movement, and other motor functions. (Researchers used standard motor-skill tests that look at reflexes, body control, movement, and hand and eye coordination […]
[…]help from the U.S. Department of Defense.RELATED STORY: Beekeeper’s Bees Die Right After Aerial Spraying for Mosquitos (and she’s not the only one!) Spraying with the pesticide “Permethrin,” which has been certified as “safe for use” by the EPA will be done first in: “Aguada, Añasco, Arecibo, Caguas, Canovanas, Cataño, Ceiba, Dorado, Fajardo, Florida, Guánica, Guaynabo, Isabela, Lares, Lajas, Loíza, Luquillo, Mayagüez, Moca, Rincón, Sábana Grande, San Juan, San Germán, Salinas, Santa Isabel, Toa Baja, Yauco, Yabucoa, and the islands of Vieques and Culebra.” But just what is this pesticide the EPA calls safe? “Permethrin is topical insecticide, which is […]
[…]when malathion is metabolized in the body. So in 1991, a report based on those studied said that spraying malathion didn’t pose a serious threat to the “majority” of residents…unless it did and people got rashes, hives or had other allergic symptoms. Super. Oh, and the EPA warned people to not be in contact with high doses because it could overstimulate the nervous system, induce nausea, dizziness or confusion- but other than that- they were golden. Then in 1994 the pesticide was sprayed over 32,400 homes in LA County and from February to May about 250 residents reported skin rashes, allergic reactions, […]
[…]in a highly populated area of Miami to see if they had Zika. THEN they decided to start aerial spraying all across Miami and surrounding cities just like they did in NYC and other cities, all under the guise of that killer Zika virus. It might even get as bad as Ebola did here in the US! The Food and Drug Administration (aka the Food and THUG Administration) has issued its final environmental assessment of the plan, saying that releasing these dangerous creatures starting in Key Haven, a suburb of Key West, “will not have significant impacts on the environment ” (it will […]
Lisa Casteneda of Naples, Fl started having problems as soon as spraying for Zika began. Feeling unwell, she went to her doctor who initially thought she was having a stroke. However, after an MRI came back clean and her doctor did some research, it was decided that Dibrom was the culprit. Even though the Collier County Director of Mosquito Control says the small amount of poison they are using shouldn’t bother anyone, it is. (Of note: This news channel has a Youtube channel and titles their videos the same as the stories they are attached to, all except this one, which […]
[…]paralysis of his right arm from exposure to 2,4-D herbicide and other chemicals. Martens dreaded spraying pesticides. “I knew I would feel rotten for a month after,” he says. His wife, Mary-Howell, would later write: “My husband was slowly being poisoned.” In 1991, the Martens decided to transition to organic because, according to Mary-Howell, they hated what pesticides “might be doing to us, our family, our land, and our environment.” The Martens have been farming organically ever since and operate Lakeview Organic Grain, which supplies organic feed, grains, and seeds. Saskatchewan farmer Gus Zelinski transitioned to organic after being hospitalized for pesticide poisoning. He inhaled […]
[…]safe from those pesticides. The routine abuse of emergency exemptions has to stop.”1 This spraying will put our biodiversity at serious risk. For example, in Texas — where 5.8 million acres got an emergency exemption to spray — more than 800 native bee species and eight species of bumblebees reside. It is also a critical migration route for monarch butterflies. Burd stated: “Monarch butterflies and eight species of bumblebees do overlap with Texas counties where there is sulfoxaflor spraying. Even at subacute, very low doses, sufoxaflor will have a very dramatic effect on bumblebee reproduction.”1 Sulfoxaflor, made by Dow AgroSciences, […]
[…]care about my safety but I’m thankful this bill didn’t pass- maybe they won’t be spraying us again anytime soon? From the article: “Lee County Mosquito Control predicts Southwest Florida will be at risk without funding. The county has about $7 million of its own savings to fight the disease. They admit that money though could go fast if there was a Zika outbreak. “The spread of Zika does not wait for the partisan bickering in Congress,” said Congressman Curt Clawson (R-19th District). “It is time for governing and doing the right thing for Florida and the nation. It is […]
[…]of the Sky” – The Aviation Industry’s Darkest Coverup Should fliers worry about pesticide spraying on planes? YOUNG WOMAN RIPPED FROM HER FLIGHT FOR QUESTIONING PESTICIDES SPRAYED ON HER! Police (and aviation security) say they were called after the passenger “became irate” because he was asked to leave the oversold flight. Tyler Bridges, who took the video posted to Facebook, said the doctor returned to the plane after being pulled off with his face bloodied. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYNuYU1tSNg In response to the video being posted, aviation officials said, “Aviation Officers arrived on the scene attempted to carry the individual off of the flight […]
