While we're on the topic of pesticides, I thought I would forward on this
tidbit since I know a lot of you are heavy users of Captan and other
fungicides both when germinating seeds and when treating fruit injuries:
People exposed to fungicides may be more than 3 times as likely to get
non-Hodgkin lymphoma, one of the most rapidly increasing forms of cancer
in Western countries, according to a study in the journal Cancer (Vol. 85,
No. 6, 1999, pp. 1353-1360). The study's authors also call for further
research on two herbicides, glyphosate (Roundup) and phenoxyacetic acid
MCPA.
