[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate our yard service neighbors spaying their toxic chemicals everywhere. Next you’ll be in the “why are cancer rates skyrocketing among young people?” threads in the health forums.[/quote]

Who said the chemicals, as applied, are toxic to humans? Look into the chemicals involved in growing our food supply. Chemicals in shampoo. Clothes started off as chemicals. Well your opinion of your neighbor doesn't matter to your neighbor so oh well.[/quote]

From https://vet.purdue.edu/wcorc/documents/CanineUrinaryBladderCancer.pdf

"A significantly increased risk of TCC was found for dogs exposed to lawns or gardens treated with herbicides and insecticides or herbicides alone. In fact, dogs exposed to treated lawns were seven times more likely to develop TCC. "

It's only a matter of time before we find conclusively that spraying potential carcinogens on our lawns has adverse effects on our health.

A "matter of time"--means eventuality what I want to be true will be because I have good vibes about it[/quote]

If you read the links, you'd see that there is significant correlation between the use of lawn chemicals, and cancer. Because cancer is multi-factorial, it's difficult to establish causation, which is why I said 'a matter of time'. With time, there will be more data linking the two, not less.[/quote]
