Xenoestrogens cause long term cancer and mimicing human hormones. The toluamides. Airplane glue. Found in plastics that make test tubes and milk sacs. DEET wich is found in Repex, Muskol. and RAID (look on the back of the can and read it. (related toluamides). It is also found in Avon Skinsosoft and some shampoos. I don't know if it will find its way into your system through the skin so I don't know the risk. I know a few exlporationists with skin cancer who used a lot of topical insect repellant but I cannot say this is the cause. I would not eat the stuff. You do every day. It is in meats and vegetables. You cannot wash it out. We are also getting excess female hormones from meat because the farmers use female hormones to fatten cattle. Could this be causing the decline in fertility and sperm count of the american male? Could be. I would add the effect of pesticides to that. Feritility of bird species is definitely affected. It killed the Eastern Cuckoo. This cause more insects as that bird was major insect control, causing more pesticide use. Don't forget that DDT is a toluamide and it cause birth defects in birds 30 years later in the great Lakes Region. But it cannot affect us. Naturally. Tra la la la. Also don't forget that kerosene is a carrier or base agent for delivery of insecticides. That cannot be good for you either. Adele Davis and Rachel Carson warned us about 2-4D and DDT. What did we say? They were quacks. Non scientists. Of course being right was accidental. Don't buy coke in plastic bottles. You are drinking deadly plastic. The Phosphoric acid in pop dissolves that stuff like sugar. EC<:-}
