All I ever hear are bad studies with poor controls or things that get twisted into propaganda by conspiracy theorists or people making careers fearmongering. We have the safest best food supply in human history. Organic is great but t has downsides and for many farmers it isnt practical.

Might as well put a lead free label on products too so people think the stuff without the label contains lead, even though it doesnt.

I agree for the most part.
As said before, I feel badly for the guy with the cancer, but think he should also bear some responsibility in this as he used the sprayer in very windy weather and allowed himself to "become drenched" in the pesticide and kept on spraying and working.
No one should get drenched with ANY pesticide,organic or other wise, and especially go on working in the wet clothes.
Many problems arise when people either do not read or follow the directions and safety statements with many things, ranging from pesticides to know what may or may not be used with an extension cord or size of extension cord.
