Be careful with these.
a lot of people think copper sulfate does not sound too bad...but it is..
Darn
I’ve been using manyy of those for years and still use copper sulfate.
We use copper sulfate in the pond to kill algae and in the hoof trough for the cows to walk through after milking. It kills foot rot for cows.
I used to use it with sulpher to kill diseases on the grape vineyard.
Maybe I can blame my typing errors on that!
My friend’s dad loved to garden and used lots of chemicals on his plants. He died a slow death from Parkinson’s. It’s like dementia in reverse. He was very alert but in the end he could only lie in bed. Terrible.
My late father, born 1927, succumbed to Parkinson’s in 2007.
He was an avid DDT proponent in the 1960s before it was shut down. Had a hired sprayer come in and cover the backyard and wooded area in CT on a 1-acre parcel. To this date, don’t know whether DDT is this kind of pesticide. I would be skeptical about any online research I do today.
Copper is great if you leave some bare wires in the tray of your a/c system. Kill the algae therein and avoid the clogged drain pipes.
My brother-in-law died from Parkinsons. He was a farmer.
There was a scientist that often took spoonfuls of DDT, to show it was harmless.
This is how the neo-Marxist Left will destroy traditional farming.
Mom, can I have some more insect cereal?
When I get Parkinson symptoms, I take 200mg of Vitamin B1. They disappear.
It’s amazing I know hundreds of farmers and I know it’s anecdotal but not one that I know of living or dead had Parkinson’s disease.
How did Micheal J. Fox end up with Parkinson’s. I doubt he ever mowed his own law let alone get near any of these pesticides? I know a person recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s and he has spent the past 30+ years in a hospital, sure not out farming, gardening, or spraying any type of pesticide.
I have a tree root out back that won’t stop shooting up suckers for 3 years! Before spring sprung I practically covered the ground and stump with copper sulfate crystals. Turned the ground blue when I watered it.2 weeks ago the wife got all kinds of landscaping stuff and she planted strawberry’s in wash tubs where it used to grow. The sun came out and all those suckers wilted over and died. I hope they had parkinson’s, I have been fighting that stump for 3 years!
The wifey wouldn’t let you dynamite the stump?
Parkinson’s Disease is a Presumptive Illness from exposure to the Rainbow Herbicides. VA Compensable.
Since they tried to tie them to cotton farming they should’ve taken a look see. California and Pennsylvania have the most cases. No where near the southern cotton belt
I like it. May steal it
I know lots of farmers as well
I know one man who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and eventually died from it. Course he was 88 when he passed
