[…]nine months. A 2016 study found a 25 percent increase in the rate of autism in areas where aerial spraying is conducted. Again, Dr Hall and Mattson have started a gofundme page to gather support. They hope to legally stop the ongoing spraying AND persuade authorities out of court to stop using […]
[…]equine encephalitis virus). They then compared those rates in 16 different zip codes where the spraying doesn’t happen. For kids living in zip codes where spraying happened each summer, there was about a 25% higher risk of an autism diagnosis or developmental problem, compared to kids who lived where no spraying was done. It seems that the way pesticides are applied might have something to do with the correlation; there are animal studies which show that pesticides can affect certain neurotransmitters in the brain, however, their exact effects on brain development are still being studied. From the TIME article: “The study […]
[…]spraying. Now let’s have other counties in Florida, TX, NY, CA and around the US that are spraying by air follow suit! Clay County, Florida- Clay County cited the nearly 1,000 percent increase in mosquitos, since Hurricane Irma, as their reason to start aerial spraying with naled. However, thanks to all our many friends who let the county know exactly how they felt, it seems we’ve been able to get them to back down: “Based on feedback we have received from the public, Clay County will NOT move forward with using the EPA approved chemical Naled for aerial mosquito control…” The […]
[…]of our total community population is indoors and it is not flying around at night when the aerial spraying controls. What you see in Florida is the adaptive plan for West Nile mosquito… Aerial spraying with naled or many of the other insecticides have been proven systematically to be less effective. For aedes aegypti you need on the ground spray, houses and yards and absolutely control breeding sites by getting rid of standing water.” Dr. Callahan, who is based at Harvard, has practiced on over 2,000 Zika patients over the years and until 2013, there was ZERO history of […]
[…]Monsanto’s Roundup weedkiller, in food.”1Cur Although the bill would only ban late-harvest spraying of glyphosate on oats and require the federal government to test popular kids foods for the herbicide that’s been linked to cancer, it’s a start in the right direction. And it’s about time. Key provisions in DeLauro’s bill include:1 Prohibiting the spraying of glyphosate as a pre-harvest drying agent on oats. Lowering by 300-fold the permissible level of glyphosate residues on oats, restoring the legally allowed level to just 0.1 parts per million, or ppm. Requiring the Department of Agriculture to regularly test fruits, vegetables and other […]

[…]910th Airlift Wing, this current effort is “expected to significantly surpass previous [spraying] missions in scope” (think Hurricanes Katrina and Rita). Once again, the government has chosen to ignore the many voices crying danger; the chemical they are going to douse Houston residents in is the Naled. (Don’t fret, the Air Force insists they won’t be using large enough amounts to cause harm to humans.) As you will remember from last year, the insecticide Naled is manufactured and sold by a strategic partner of Monsanto and banned in the EU because of the risks it poses to human health: “Naled is a known neurotoxin […]
[…]in part to your help, we got the spraying delayed for one more day. While it won’t stop the spraying- at least not right now- we bought ourselves more time to warn people. They are spraying the heck out of Miami with Naled (Dibrom- morbid spelled backward) and MANY other cities around the nation. It’s banned in all European nations, and my friends there ask what is wrong with our government here? Remember guys, Florida Governor, Rick Scott, (WHO OWNS STOCK IN MOSQUITO SPRAY COMPANIES!) has the final ruling and he’s all about spraying (and all about the money). Watch the […]
[…]can read here. 🙁 Protestors are not happy. UPDATE: Authorities have confirmed they will be spraying Naled. Feel free to call and ask. It’s delayed only because of the tropical storm here in Florida. They will spray the Orlando area with this known neurotoxin (known to be linked to microcephaly- it’s the spray, not the Zika) on more than a 13 square mile radius of Central Florida, in a residential area of Orlando. Osceola County, Florida – In response to excessive rainfall, Osceola County Mosquito Control plans to begin aerial spraying of approximately 20,000 acres Tuesday, September 13 between the hours of 8 p.m. […]
[…]and environmentalists are rightly ecstatic. After all, FWC has been spraying more than a dozen classes of herbicide, including Roundup, to kill plants in our waterways1 for a long time. RELATED STORY: Reuters: Bayer asks California judge to suppress evidence in another Roundup cancer trial According to environmentalists, the spraying may be contributing to the state’s algae problem and fueling the red tide.
