With such a wide use as a preventative, it is sprayed on a lot of our food already.

One of the calculations that makes a chemical "safe" for commercial use is that almost all the people exposed to it are going to be the migrant laborers who harvest and tend the crops. Those people are much less likely to get a lawyer and sue. I have read that they do get diseases of the central nervous system more frequently. What should be very rare diseases are not so rare among ag workers.
