Pesticide Exposure and ADHD

This is a little over a year old, but it's still interesting: Study links pesticide exposure and higher rates of ADHD.

Naturally, this is going to be one of those cases where correlation doesn't necessarily indicate causation, but who knows? I don't think it's crazy to wonder if maybe a bunch of nasty poisons might just have an adverse effect on the ability of our systems to operate correctly.

Gotta love this bit:

"Environmental Protection Agency regulations have eliminated most residential uses for the pesticides (including lawn care and termite extermination), so the largest source of exposure for children is believed to be food, especially commercially grown produce."

In other words? You can't use it on your lawns, it's too toxic. Eating it, though? A-ok. *facepalms*
