After reading about the spider bite and mosquitos and pesticides
s there a possibility of a connection to pesticides?
My late father's hobby was gardening. I remember his hematologist to
telling him to stay away from one pesticide. I'm not sure, but I believe
it was Malathion.
I can remember spraying DDT for mosquitoes(the state bird of Maine???)
at my grandfather's camp.It was couple of years after it was banned. he
had gotten it from a friend who owned a hardware storte, but never sent
it back.
It was mixed with water and kerosene and we used an indian pump to spray
around the camp. Some of it was sprayed as high up as we could onto the
trees. I probably breathed some of the fine mist as it fell.
I had probably sprayed it within on a year prior to the onset of TM.
Has anyone else been near ANY pesticides within a year prior to their
onset of TM?
Just a thought.
