It is a well known fact that the use of pesticides is a huge health issue. With that in mind people are still using these unhealthy products each and every day, to the tune of a billion pounds a year of dangerous pesticides being used on our food and around our homes.

Now everybody knows that foods that are in the grocery stores has been washed before they arrive at the store. And many people will still wash there fruits and veggies after they but them. However there are still trace pesticides that are being consumed from these fruits and vegetables, which are causing health issues.

It is also causing huge health issues with farmers and farm workers. With over 20,000 pesticide related illnesses reported every year,according to the Environmental Protection Agency, this is really becoming a problem.

Even though farmers and other people who work on farms have more than there share of pesticide related illnesses, peoples pets have even more. According to the Animal Poison Control Center, there are over 30 thousand reports every year of pet poisoning from pesticides.

One of the main causes is normal everyday people. The problem is that when we see a weed on our driveway the first thing we do is to grab a bottle of weed spray that is full of chemicals, and many people will even use chemicals as a preventative measure.

The use of pesticides has been proven to be the cause of, or a contributing factor of many diseases like birth defects, different cancer’s and even Parkinson’s disease. With all the problems with pesticides, people still use them.

One would think that the government would step in and create laws to help regulate pesticides even more. Did you know that pesticide companies don’t even have to test there products meant for home use with the same standards as products for commercial use??? This means that home pesticides can actually be worse for you than commercial pesticides.

And these chemicals not only harm people, but they also contaminate the air, water and soil. This means that honeybees, butterflies and ladybugs along with fish are threatened with pesticides. One other small fact is that the pesticides you use around your house can and do seep into the water table.
