I would guess that the next question on pesticides should be: how to prevent others from being affected by exposure to pesticides. Is there any way, other than totally stopping their use? Can farmers use proper breathing apparatus when handling this stuff so they can greatly reduce the danger? I am concerned because a number of my relatives farm, and it is far too easy to ignore the risk of something which might happen ten or twenty years in the future.
