Organophosphate pesticides are in the news again this morning.
A quick Wikipedia search left me sighing and unsurpised to see that all the culprits in the Oregonian's article--diazinon, malathion, and chlorpyrifos--are organophosphates and acetylcholine esterase inhibitors. My, oh my, I thought we'd finished on that topic.
Incidentally, I remember as a little girl getting my first garden and soon after buying my first cardboard can of Sevin. I also remember television ads for Lorsban and Dursban. It's an Iowa thing, seeing ag chemicals advertised during the evening news.
