ANTI-ZIKA PESTICIDES FOUND TO CAUSE NEUROLOGICAL DAMAGE
While we�ve all been distracted by other issues, the mass Zika hysteria of last summer
has quietly been replaced by deafening silence.
For months, the mainstream media inundated the American public with terror-inducing articles
about how Zika was going to give their unborn children microcephaly, a condition in which
the brain does not develop properly, resulting in an unusually small head, poor motor function,
severe brain damage, seizures and other horrific conditions.
Many pregnant mothers lived in fear, while others decided to delay falling pregnant or
even chose to have abortions.
The whole world was on high alert, convinced that in 2015, Zika had caused over 2,000 babies
to be born with microcephaly in Brazil.
Even Congress got on board, allocating $1.1 billion in taxpayer dollars to programs aimed
at controlling this �terrible� virus.
One of these programs involved the aerial spraying of the pesticide naled over large
parts of Miami-Dade County and other parts of Florida.
Even before the Zika �outbreak� the state had been spraying naled routinely for years
to control mosquitoes.
This, despite the fact that naled is officially banned in Europe, and several other countries,
including Puerto Rico, refused to use it in the fight against Zika.
Hundreds of residents protested against the spraying, but to no avail.
And they were right to be concerned.
A recent study by the University of Michigan, published in the journal Environment International,
has determined that the use of naled is directly linked to motor function deficits in children.
For their study, researchers took cord blood samples from 237 healthy babies in southeast
China between 2008 and 2011, and tested these for the presence of 30 different organophosphate
insecticides, including naled.
The babies had been exposed to varying amounts of pesticides while in the womb.
The researchers then tracked the development of these children over a nine-month period.
The study focused on China, since it is the world�s largest user of pesticides, and
uses naled extensively.
The researchers discovered that five of these pesticides � one of which was naled � were
present in at least 10 percent of the samples.
The babies� gross, fine and total motor abilities were tested using the Peabody Developmental
Motor Scales at both 6 weeks and 9 months.
While all the babies were fine at 6 weeks, by 9 months, those with the highest prenatal
exposure to naled were beginning to exhibit motor skills issues.
Though for the most part the issues were small, the study�s authors warn that these children
had been exposed to relatively low levels of naled.
�Just because changes are small, that doesn�t mean they should be discounted,� said Monica
Silver, lead author of the study.
�We really need to know more about it.�
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) insists that aerial spraying of naled is not
dangerous, because the droplets are very fine, stay airborne for extended periods, and break
down quickly once exposed to sunlight and water.
However, Cornell University warns:
�Naled is moderately to highly toxic by ingestion, inhalation and dermal adsorption.
� As with all organophosphates, naled is readily absorbed through the skin.
Skin which has come in contact with this material should be washed immediately with soap and
water and all contaminated clothing should be removed.
� High environmental temperatures[like in Florida] or exposure of naled to visible or
UV light may enhance its toxicity.

Health officials in Brazil have now admitted that the Zika virus is not the likely cause
of the microcephaly cases in that country.
Worldwide, Zika has once again been acknowledged as the essentially benign virus it always
has been.
Nonetheless, Miami-Dade County officials have indicated that they will be spraying naled
again this year if the virus starts to resurface.
