My oncologist in Canada would agree with this and says he also feels its a primary cause of certain cancers in humans. I cringed when I saw my next door neighbors grandson playing in his yard....he had it sprayed religiously every other week. Put up a 6 foot solid board fence between us just to avoid the spray from reaching my yard, and would not allow them to spray on windy days. Don't miss that neighbor!
