Crikey, mate! If you're past a certain generation, all of us are supposed
to be dead. Lawn darts, lead paint, pesticides. And yet we all lived and
there's nothing wrong with us
wrong with us
wrong with us
wrong with us

It's been a while since I've used any pesticides, but I seem to recall
that they tend to be neurotoxic. Also implicated in a certain kind of
incurable malignant brain tumor. Try a google search on "glioma
epidemiology pesticide".
