We're outnumbered, folks! The estimated number of insects to humans is 200 million to one. This is a battle we will most definitely lose. Yet, we try in vain. In this hive of insect activity, repellents can help you steer clear of nasty stings and bites. But is our reliance on bug sprays harming our health? Mosquitos are a pest! Every year, a third of us will cover ourselves with almost five pounds of bug repellent to keep those blood-thirsty bugs at bay. Okay, so there is a good reason to do so. After all, there are many mosquito and tick-transmitted diseases to ward off: West Nile virus, malaria, and Lyme Disease, to name a couple. So, I'm not here to tell you that protecting yourself from bites isn't important. But, if the repellent you're using can fend off mosquitoes, maybe what it's doing to you isn't so great either. In this Fatal Conveniences™, I break down the most common toxic chemicals lurking in insect repellents, such as DEET (N, N-Diethyl-3-methylbenzamide), the granddaddy of them all. I also explain how these repellents affect children and the simple things you can do today to keep insects away without sacrificing your health. Bugs, insects, insects, Insecta, or insectum—whatever you call our hexapod invertebrates, these creepy critters are vital for our ecosystems. So, finding non-harmful, preventative alternatives is crucial for the survival of not only us as a species but also this incredible planet that we live on.

#AskDrJohnWatts Different questions related to baldness, hair grafts, hair loss, hair transplant procedures and medical treatments for hair loss are being raised by patients now and then, including the followers of Dr John Watts, who keep flooding his series of hugely popular educational videos on his popular YouTube channel with queries related to different hair issues. In this educational video session, Hyderabad's noted dermatologist & trichologist and one of the Best Hair Transplant Surgeons in Hyderabad, Dr John Watts explains the right way to use Minoxidil topical lotion.  Whether it should be used before the shower or after the shower?   Dr John Watts answers this question in detail. So far, he has performed over 2000+ hair transplant surgeries successfully. Thug Sawawath asks: Sir, what is the best way to use Minoxidil topical lotion: Before shower or after a shower? Please explain. When it comes to using Minoxidil, many new users often wonder about the best time to apply it: before or after showering. Different products have specific usage rules, and it's important to follow them for optimal results.  Dr John Watts advises users to stick to the recommended application rules and not deviate from them, especially when using Minoxidil topical hair lotion. For various creams, lotions, or shampoos designed for specific purposes, there are specific guidelines to follow. For example, creams containing Permethrin 1% for lice control should be applied to the scalp and left on for 2 hours before rinsing off with water.  In the case of mild dandruff, the lotion should be applied for half an hour before rinsing, while for severe dandruff, it can be left on overnight and washed off the next morning. Scabies creams also follow a similar overnight application and rinsing routine. Pimple creams, body lotions, and sunscreen lotions require thorough washing and drying of the body part before application. Sunscreen lotions can be washed off after 3 hours of application. Minoxidil Usage: Best Method For Minoxidil, it is recommended to keep the lotion applied for a minimum of one to one and a half hours to ensure proper absorption into the scalp. Afterwards, the scalp can be rinsed with water or shampooed. If using Minoxidil at night, it can be left on overnight and washed off in the morning. However, it's important not to reapply Minoxidil without first cleaning and drying the scalp, as Minoxidil can form white flaky precipitates on the scalp. Exposure to a dusty environment can also render Minoxidil less effective. The best practice is to wash the scalp thoroughly, let it dry, and wait for 5-10 minutes before applying Minoxidil again. Conclusion: Following the proper application rules and guidelines for Minoxidil usage can help ensure its effectiveness in promoting hair growth. It's important to adhere to the recommended time frames and cleanse the scalp before reapplying the lotion. By maintaining a consistent routine and taking care of the scalp, users can make the most out of their Minoxidil usage. Trichos provides state-of-the-art treatment for various hair loss conditions and offers advanced hair transplant solutions. Call us Today for a Life-Changing Experience.

With Ross Douthat, Author, and New York Times Opinion Columnist   With spring approaching, we look forward to the opportunity to spend more time outdoors. But while we're enjoying the warm weather and sunshine, we also need to be aware of the heightened risk of contracting tick bites. Although tick exposure might occur any time of year, ticks tend to be at their most active during the warmer months of April through September and we need to be extra cautious. Reducing our exposure to ticks isn't simply about avoiding an annoying insect bite, it's about the very real threat of contracting a serious tick-borne infection such as Lyme disease or Rocky Mountain spotted fever.   According to the CDC, Lyme disease is the most frequent tick-borne infection with over 300,000 new cases diagnosed every year in the United States. Keep in mind that since the ticks that transmit Lyme disease, deer ticks, are roughly about the size of a pinhead when they come out in late spring and early summer, they're often difficult to see. That's why it's so important to avoid getting bitten. The CDC recommends a number of simple precautions we can take to avoid tick bites while still enjoying our time outdoors. One of the best ways to protect ourselves is by being careful to avoid tick habitats. Ticks love to hide in areas of tall grasses and heavily wooded areas. When hiking, it's best to stay in the middle of the trail and avoid uncut, grassy edges where ticks may be lurking. Since ticks get Lyme disease from mice, it's important to do everything we can to eliminate mouse habitats and avoid attracting them to our gardens or campsites. This includes eliminating mouse-friendly wood piles and rock piles where mice live and breed.   Try to avoid going barefoot and whenever possible, wear long-sleeved clothing. Apply and re-apply insect repellent, preferably one containing DEET. Another recommendation is to use Permethrin, a commonly-used tick pesticide that can be applied to clothing and will safely remain on clothes for months without having to be reapplied. It's equally important to protect our beloved pets. Dogs are especially susceptible to tick bites and tickborne diseases. Work with your veterinarian to discuss Tick prevention. In addition to keeping our pets healthy and tick-free, we are also guarding against them unwittingly bringing these nasty insects into our homes.   One of the most frightening aspects of Lyme disease is that it is often hard to diagnose and if left untreated, it can lead to horrific long-term consequences. That's what happened to New York Times columnist, author, and podcast host, Ross Douthat. If you have any questions as to how debilitating and serious a tick bite can become, you'll want to check out Florine's December 2021 interview with Ross as he discussed his book, The Deep Places, which documented his five-year journey and ultimate recovery from Lyme disease.   What You'll Hear on This Episode: How was Ross's life before his illness? How did the symptoms begin? When did Ross first get the diagnosis of Lyme disease? What treatment did Ross get, and did it help? Does Ross know when he got bit? What inspired Ross to write his book Privilege? How writing runs in Ross's family. Was Ross healthy before his illness? Why does Lyme Disease persist so badly in people? How did Ross's geographic location affect his diagnosis? Did doctors dismiss Ross's symptoms? How Lyme disease treatment can be very costly. How did his illness impact Ross's family? Did Ross try any homeopathic approaches? How long did Ross suffer before he got any relief? Is there a chance that Ross's illness will come back? How did Ross get through the dark times? What would listeners be surprised to learn about Ross? What brings Ross happiness these days?   Today's Takeaway: At a time, when so many people are still recovering, from the coronavirus, and still, exhibiting neurological symptoms, months, after contracting the virus, our definition, of what it means, to live with an ongoing chronic illness has changed. We no longer see chronic illness, as the unique, or rare exception, that perhaps we once did. Instead, we now know, it to be far more common than we might ever have imagined. When the medical profession may not have the answers, or our symptoms fall outside the norm, many patients, choose to do the research themselves to find other treatment options. We may find relief, from our symptoms, outside traditional medicine, but whatever it is, that works for you and offers relief, is worthy of exploring.   There is no better gift, than the gift, of a healthy body and a healthy mind. The lesson to be learned from Ross's experience is that there is hope, for someone diagnosed with a chronic illness. I'm Florine Mark and that's “Today's Takeaway”.    Quotes: “I probably saw 10‒15 doctors in the span of two or three months and none of them had any clear idea of what was going on.” — Ross “If you have one of these chronic conditions where there isn't an official CDC approved approach to treating it, then they are less likely to be able to help you.” — Ross “I was healthy. I was 35 and I'd had a few things here and there, but I'd never been sick for probably more than a week-and-a-half in my whole life.” — Ross “I was accustomed to having my body do the things that I asked it to do.” — Ross “Lyme disease is famous for this bullseye rash that develops around the tick bite.” — Ross “Before I started getting better, in the period when I was just sort of trying things desperately and unable to find something, the sense that things were just falling apart was incredibly, incredibly strong.” — Ross “A whole network of people, but especially spouses, carry a particular kind of weight with these illnesses.” — Ross “One lesson is that things can get better. It's important to have faith and confidence that they can get better even when things are at their worst.” — Ross “Hope is essential for human existence, but not hope alone. You also have to act.” — Ross “In the end, other people can help you, but when it comes to illness, only you understand your symptoms at some level; only you will know when you get better, and you have to fight for that.” — Ross   Brought to You By: Gardner White Furniture   Mentioned in This Episode: Ross Douthat Ross Douthat for NYT Opinion The Deep Places: A Memoir of Illness and Discovery, by Ross Douthat Privilege: Harvard and the Education of the Ruling Class, by Ross Gregory Douthat

Joellen Lapman from the New York State Integrated Pest Management Program joins Nature Calls: Conversations from the Hudson Valley for a fascinating (and scary) discussion, All About Ticks. Learn about the latest news and research on ticks and tick-borne diseases Ticks are related to spiders but can be much more dangerous to humans. How many diseases are connected with ticks? Unfortunately, it's much more than Lyme's Disease. Climate change and our warmer winters are enabling different kinds of ticks (other than the black-legged deer tick) to move into the Hudson Valley. (The only place you can avoid ticks is in Antarctica!) Do you know the relationship between mast years for nut trees (e.g., oaks, hickory, etc.) and ticks? Do pesticides help? Is addition to deer, controlling the mice and chipmunk population is also important. Personal prevention is key, but having flu-like symptoms in the springtime may be a signal to check for a tick-borne disease. Anytime you are off pavement, you are in tick territory. Permethrin on clothing helps. But did you know that putting clothing in the dryer (not the washer) will kill ticks? Checking pets for ticks is just as important as checking yourself. There is lots of information that can be found on-line (not all of it ‘sound') about the removal of ticks, but the key is to avoid ‘upsetting' the tick. Joellen provides a wealth of valuable information. Get caught up on the latest science related to ticks!

[00:00:40] When I was growing up as a kid, my dad loved fishing. And it turns out my dad when he got outta high school, he actually graduated from Oceanside High as well. So my dad gets outta high school and he takes a job as a Forest Service ranger up in Lassen Park. Oh, wow. And so my very first recollections when I was growing up as a kid were sitting around, my dad, would take pictures and turn 'em into slides and we had like a slide projector kinda a deal. And it's all these pictures of my dad up there fishing for like big brown trout and all the stuff that they were doing their off time. So, so from very early on I kind of got exposed to the outdoors and, beautiful places like Lassen National Park. How were you inspired to focus on clean water? [00:04:15] Before I was introduced to Sawyer filters, I got training in bio-sand filters, and that was just like, I don't know, it just resonated with me cuz I began to see what a big, giant problem it was around the world. And so that just kind of caught my attention. I was like, man, this is something we can solve in our lifetime. And so kind of got it, start there with that house building organization, and then from there, kind of moved on and, became acquainted with Sawyer filters and got involved with starting my own nonprofit that work in the country of Fiji. How did you connect with Sawyer? [00:05:10] So when I found Sawyer, we had just gotten a lot of our bio-sand filter molds, and I got training in it, got certified in it, and we were gonna bring these filters over to  Fiji. And a couple of weeks before, I was going on this trip, and one of my friends said, Hey, did you see these new filters? It just came out, this company called Sawyer, and this was in 2008. And, so I was like, oh, those look really interesting. So I called Sawyer and I asked them if they would send me a couple, cuz I want to test these out. Talk a little bit about Give Clean Water. You started that organization, right? [00:10:00]  Yeah, so I founded it in 2008. We were really looking at finding a country where could we go where there was a big water need. Of course, they were everywhere. A billion people need clean water. But I wanted to go somewhere where I had some boots-on-the-ground contacts. And a friend of mine grew up in Fiji and he's like, Hey man, you should come to Fiji and, and bring these filters over there. So I was like, okay. So we went over and checked it out. I was like dreaming big. these filters could change the world. What if you could change the world? What if you could change a country? Yeah. Fiji's not that big of a country. Less than 900,000 people live in the country, which is like two-thirds of the size of San Diego. So I'm thinking, man, if you could [00:11:20] hit every single village there, what would that look like to change the country and change their lives, et cetera? So that was our beginning. Sawyer [00:21:00] Our biggest category is gonna be our repellent. Our Permethrin is, [00:21:20] is the golden standard for spraying on your clothes and your gear. And then our Picaridin is big, that's our topical repellent. It's a derivative of, the pepper plant and, it offers the [00:22:00] same protection as Deet, but it's just not harsh. Our newest filter is the [00:25:30] tap filter. These things just pop right on the end of a common tap. You can, you can even put 'em on a hose bib outside or whatever, but they're just awesome for getting [00:26:20] rid of bacteria for emergencies and then around the world because most of the places where you have the luxury of tap water, you can't drink it.[00:26:30]. What other outdoor activities do you participate in? [00:28:10] I love hiking. I still love camping and like to play golf. I like to surf and, love biking. So pretty much any of [00:28:20] that stuff. And, then just as something that I just love to do in general, and I actually do it a lot on our trips, is I love photography. Do you have any [00:30:50] suggestions or advice for folks wanting to get into the outdoor biz or grow their career if they're already in the industry? I just find that authenticity and generosity are things that [00:31:50] I love and it's what I really love about Sawyer. And so, I mean, if somebody was looking to get in the business in that kind of way, I don't [00:32:00] know, you want to go in and have a great product for one, but, but those other things I think are kinda the X factors. Do you have any daily routines [00:33:40] you use to keep your sanity, meditate, exercise? Yeah, I, have quiet time every morning. I'm definitely, definitely a person of faith and, so I, every morning that's kind of [00:33:50] sacred time for me. I like to wake up early, spend, 30 minutes or so just in kind of a quiet time reading and, doing those kinds of disciplines, and then, I [00:34:00] love to read all kinds of stuff. but I love fitness. I think for me, that that's like [00:34:10] eating good, and, and having a, a well-balanced diet and, making that kind of a lifestyle. Do you have any favorite books or books [00:36:20] you give as gifts? When Helping Hurts Seve Corbett, Brian Fikkert, et al. Figuring Foreigners Out, A Practical Guide Craig Storti What's your, favorite piece of outdoor gear under a hundred dollars? Oh man. it's gonna sound like a total sales pitch or whatever. . I would've said this even before I was working at Sawyer. So, my best thing under a hundred bucks, my first go-to, I mean, you could get [00:41:30] a squeeze filter, a bottle of Permethrin, a bottle of Picaridin, and Sunscreen for all under a hundred bucks.

#AskDrJohnWatts Pavan asks: Sir, I am struggling with a lice problem on my hair. How do I solve this issue? Please explain. In his response, Dr John Watts tells Pavan that lice are a type of ectoparasite that can affect both men and women or children. “If you follow a proper lice control protocol, you can eliminate the problem permanently. What you have to do is use Permethrin lotion 1% and apply it on your wet scalp. After application, leave it for 2 hours and use lice comb to take out all dead lice,” advised Dr John Watts. While recounting an old ad, he said that the lice problem mostly affects those who live in hostels as the closed-knit environment is conducive for lice infestation from one person to another person.

In this week's episode of We Love Outdoors with Rich Davenport, your humble host reviews some of the goings on in wildlife, while also reflecting on the loss of longtime Outdoors Writer and friend, Gene Pauszek. His life was about sharing the outdoors lifestyle and he was a fixture at every Chautauqua County fishing or hunting event ever held. Fishing season is hitting full stride with the opening of NY's Inland Trout season on April 1, and along with the trout opener came new regulations taking effect, including the increased minimum size statewide for crappie from 9" to 10", as well as changes to sunfish regulations, trout ponds and lakes, and season opening dates as well. Steelhead runs are in full swing on the Great Lakes streams, and Spring Turkey season is also right around the corner, opening May 1. Be sure you remember to treat your outerwear with Permethrin, as the ticks are very active, and this time of year brings no shortage of them. Use Picaridin on your skin to help keep the ticks away too, while also keeping some black flies at bay as well. The NYS budget is late year, but suddenly this isn't a big deal, as the delays are a result of Democrat in-fighting, as no GOP elected representative can be blamed. Still, despite no paychecks for correction officers, public meetings are scheduled to provide "educational sessions" concerning climate justice and what a disadvantaged community is, as NYSDEC and NYSERDA celebrate their suddenly too cozy relationship, the adversarial relationship these two are supposed to take. Finally, your humble host deviates from the norm with a final segment touching on youth hunting recruitment and retention, as some believe it is the changing times that are driving lower youth interest in the great outdoors. The real reasons may actually surprise you. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rich-davenport/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rich-davenport/support

In this week's episode of We Love Outdoors with Rich Davenport, your humble host ushers in Spring with advice on the upcoming time when bears are moving about. DEC's Living with Bears program provides outstanding insight into how to live bear smart and reduce human- bear conflicts, which boils down to not offering easy food for hungry bears to find. And while the last hunting season is winding down, coyote closes on March 26, 2022, those heading afield are reminded that ticks are becoming very active right now, so treat your outerwear with Permethrin, spray exposed skin with Picaradin, and make sure your pets are up to date with flea and tick prevention. DEC has announced the new fishing regulations adopted as part of two regulatory proposals made late last year. Changes simplify the trout regulations for lakes and ponds, matching those for inland stocked streams. Ice fishing is now permitted except in special brook trout waters predominantly in the Adirondacks. Season openers are also changes, as has sunfish creel limits adn the crappie minimum keeper size. Visit https://dec.ny,gov for more information. Meanwhile, anti conservation groups are using a tactic known as sure and settle with the willing folks at EPA and USF&W Service. The latest attempt, by Centers of Biodiversity, center on 2,3 million acres President Trump ordered open to public hunting and fishing. The settlement seeks to ban use of lead fishing tackle and ammunition on these lands, despite science not supporting the move. And World Water Day is March 22, 2022, and I wonder how DEC and others reconcile the damage caused to underground aquifers by industrial wind turbines. It will be interesting to see how the hypocrites handle these truths. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rich-davenport/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rich-davenport/support

John, Sue and Paul welcome back 'Mr Flea' (parasitology expert Ian Wright) for a second episode of The Skin Flint Podcast focusing on treatments, pet health schemes, media coverage and finally drawing some conclusions to the discussion.   Log this CPD with 1CPD here   SHOW NOTES Intro (00:00) John, Sue and Paul look forward to another chat with Ian Wright the parasitology expert and welcome your thoughts and questions through the social media channels at Elearning.Vet, including any more wacky questions for Sue! Find us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn.   Chapter 1, Treatments and The Environment (02:22) John starts by asking Ian about Fipronil and Ian suggests this product still has its place and cast doubt over the idea of drug resistance of fleas to this component. He points out it is easily shampooed off however and not as good for dogs that swim in rivers etc. This brings the conversation to the consideration of the environment with the product washing off when they swim; with Ian stating that there just isn't the data to suggest that this or any other component is contaminating the environment, however with a product like this which is easily washed off it is better to choose another route for pets that swim. He feels there is more research needed into the environmental aspects. John then asked if the manufacturers have guidelines on the environmental impact and Ian expresses his concerns about the lack of information given to clients about this both by the manufacturers and those selling the products as few owners read datasheets and need all the information to make the best choice for them and their pets.   Chapter 2 Pet Health Plans (08:47) Sue raises the question of how appropriate pets health plans are and Ian agrees that they can restrict choice depending on the degree of clinical freedom a vet has when choosing treatments for patients on a plan. He suggests however that many plans have either a leading product which can be changed or in some cases a completely bespoke plan and feels that this is the best option to give flexibility, pointing out health plans are good for encouraging affordable regular flea control when used appropriately. Sue points out this is where the vet nurse can be vital in helping to choose appropriate treatment with the owner by gathering all the information and John agrees, whilst expressing concern about the degree of choice involved and whether environmental aspects should be considered based on the conversation. Ian suggests approaching the environmental aspect with care given the lack of data, but suggests that indeed speaking to the owners about their specific preferences and lifestyle factors will help in the future to add the environmental aspect into the conversation and selection of treatment.   Chapter 3, Media Scrutiny (15:21) Sue continues the conversation on the environment pointing out the media awareness, including the stat that a teaspoon of Imidaclorpid can kill 1.25 million bees, Ian agrees it is an emotive subject, and statistics like that one can be unhelpful but in time considering the environment when selecting appropriate treatment can be part of that conversation between practice and owner. John asks if the obvious idea of oral flea treatments such as the Isoxazolines being a solution to the environment aspect holds true and Ian points out there is no evidence to suggest they don't contaminate the environment anymore then there is evidence to suggest environmental contamination seen is caused by spot-on treatment. The best option is to look at each pet an owner and make a decision appropriately. Sue asks if it is appropriate that we should be recommending routine treatment all year round and Ian says that it is based on a risk based approach for all pets and parasites, with the level and prevalence of fleas judged to be high enough to justify treatment for all pets, all year round.   Chapter 4, Integral Flea Control (22:25) The conversation turns to integrated flea control and the use of multiple methods to control fleas, not just on the individual pet but also in the environment. Ian discusses a number of methods including insecticide sprays, hot washing, vacuuming, growth regulators and flea sterilising products – stating that the adult flea on the pet it's just the tip of the iceberg.   Chapter 5, Juvenoids and Conclusion (28:32) Sue asks about the use of juvenoids such as Lufenuron and Permethrin and their consideration with the environment and Ian reiterates that there is a lack of evidence here, but points out they are unlikely to be necessarily better or worse than any other products both for the environment and also the control of fleas. He states that it is better to prevent fleas rather than fight them once they are established which will always require more insecticide in the long run. Sue and Ian point out environmental consideration with other things such as ant killer and agricultural insect control is just as in need of consideration and research before they both conclude the conversation with the importance of a bespoke approach   Outro (34:50) John, Sue and Paul conclude the conversation and Sue tackles another challenging question to end on.

The best way to protect yourself if you are going to be outside for long periods of time is to spray your clothes with Permethrin.  You'll need to do this outside in a well ventilated area, wearing a mask and gloves.  I like to spray pants from the knee down, socks and shoes, hats and the collars and arms of shirts (front and back). Clothing will need to completely dry for 24 hours before wearing and will hold up thru several washings. Available at EMS, REI and Amazon. Here is a link http://bit.ly/GuudPermethrin

We’re outnumbered, folks! The estimated number of insects to humans is 200 million to one. This is a battle we will most definitely lose. Yet, we try in vain. In this hive of insect activity, repellents can help you steer clear of nasty stings and bites. But is our reliance on bug sprays harming our health? Welcome to Fatal Conveniences™ This is a bite-sized segment that parallels The Darin Olien Show. In these segments, we get into society's Fatal Conveniences™. I define these as the things we may be doing because the world we live in makes us believe we have to. These things save us time and trick us into thinking they're actually good for us. But it's those same things that are breaking down our health and the health of the environment around us. I've spent most of my adult life obsessively researching these "conveniences." On every show, I pick one topic, and we dive into it. My goal is to make you more aware of these traps so that you can push back on them. Remember, it starts with you and the choices you make. So, if you're willing to look at your world from a different perspective and make little tweaks that amount to big changes, then this segment is for you. Mosquitos are a pest! Every year, a third of us will cover ourselves with almost five pounds of bug repellent to keep those blood-thirsty bugs at bay. Okay, so there is a good reason to do so. After all, there are many mosquito and tick-transmitted diseases to ward-off; West Nile virus, malaria, and Lyme Disease, to name a couple. So, I'm not here to tell you that protecting yourself from bites isn't important. But, if the repellent you're using can fend off mosquitoes, maybe what it's doing to you isn't so great either. In this Fatal Conveniences™, I break down the most common toxic chemicals that lurk in insect repellents, such as DEET (N, N-Diethyl-3-methylbenzamide), which is the granddaddy of them all. I also break down how these repellents affect children, and the simple things you can do today to keep insects away without sacrificing your health. Bugs, insects, Insecta or insectum- whatever you call our hexapod invertebrates, these creepy critters are vital for our ecosystems. So, finding non-harmful, preventative alternatives is crucial for the survival of not only us as a species, but also this incredible planet that we live on.

Welcome back to episode 405 of the Whole View. (0:27) Today Stacy and Sarah are talking about a super interesting topic submitted a listener. Which, if you didn't know this already, we love it when you email us. Sarah shared some behind the scenes information on where listener questions come from. There are Stacy's requests, listener questions, and the really challenging listener questions. The question in discussion in this episode is one of those really hard ones that has been in the queue for a long time. Sarah was able to pull together the information for this show because she actually did a lot of research on this topic for her gut microbiome book. And of course, Sarah did extra research to address the many facets of this challenging question. Stacy is excited about this science rich show.   Listener Question Is the EWG's dirty dozen list based on strong science? (3:37) My husband listened to two episodes of the Skeptoid podcast on organic vs. conventional farming. Mr. Dunning said that we are being duped into paying extra for organic produce. It is sprayed with larger amounts of pesticides than those used in conventional farming and the organic pesticides have been shown to cause disease. My husband believes Mr. Dunning because he provides references and appears to be liberal and non-biased in other podcasts.   I have been purchasing organic produce according to the Environmental Working Group's dirty dozen list. It says on the Activist Facts website that "There’s really only one thing you need to know about the Environmental Working Group when it comes to its studies of toxins: 79 percent of members of the Society of Toxicology (scientists who know a little something about toxins) who rated the group say that the Environmental Working Group overstates the health risk of chemicals. I am walking around with holes in my shirts, and I haven't gotten the air conditioning fixed in my car, so that I can afford organic food. Am I wasting my money? I feel like I cannot trust anyone but you.   Preface Stacy wanted to refer listeners to listen back to previous episodes for information on how both Stacy and Sarah have evolved the way they purchase and prioritize their own foods within their budget. (5:06) Neither Stacy nor Sarah buys everything organically. Nothing that Stacy and Sarah are going to discuss in this episode is intended to be a judgment on you or your family or what you did in the past or what you are doing now. This is all education so that you can be empowered to make the choices that are best for your family at the correct time for you. Where Stacy's family is today, ten years later, is a lot different than where they were ten years ago. The goal of this episode is to help you so that you can walk away and ask questions. There is a larger philosophy that each family needs to adapt to what works best for them. No one is perfect. If you are starting in your journey, you don't need to forego the necessities to have organic food. There is a way to prioritize your budget in a way that is consistent with what your family believes in. Healthy living choices are so personal.   Foundational Choices & Next Level Choices Sarah wanted to emphasize that there are foundational health principles. Nutrient density diet, eating a lot of fruits and vegetables, getting enough sleep, managing stress, and living an active lifestyle. Then Sarah thinks of the next level steps like adding some biohacks, supplements, purchasing grass-fed beef, and organic fruits and vegetables. We need to first make sure that we are focusing on the foundational principles and adding in the next level choice if and when it makes sense. Eating organic is beyond the basic principles, but is overall a better choice. The EWG's overall approach is in many ways more rigorous than the American regulatory agencies. The EWG tends to align with the European Union, Health Canada, and these other regions of the world where the criterion for approving a chemical or pesticide is firmer. In America, the thought process is that chemicals are assumed fine unless proven bad. In Europe, a chemical is not ok until proven safe.   Conventional Evaluation of Pesticide Safety The FDA's safety assessment for chemicals in foods have a variety of criteria. (13:11) They look at acute chronic and subchronic toxicity, carcinogenicity, genotoxicity, reproductive and developmental toxicity, neurotoxicity, and immunotoxicity. Pesticides also go through additional impact evaluation on the environment and ecology. The vast majority of the studies evaluating the effects of pesticides show problems to human health only with occupational exposure, rather than the much lower exposure the majority of us would have simply by eating produce from crops treated with these chemicals. However, there are some challenges with this. We can see high exposure in rodents causing all kinds of problems. The assumption is that acute exposure is not the same as low dose chronic exposure.   Where the Standards Differ One of the challenges that we have in evaluating pesticides is that our exposure is already so vast. There are no humans that don't already have multiple points of exposure to pesticides. There are studies that are linking the chronic low dose exposure to pesticide residues that have correlated pesticide exposure in the food supply with a number of health issues. In the United States, there are 72 pesticides that are routinely used that are completely banned or are in the process of being completely phased out in Europe. Of the pesticides used in USA agriculture in 2016, 322 million pounds were of pesticides banned in the EU. Twenty-six million pounds were of pesticides banned in Brazil and 40 million pounds were of pesticides banned in China. Pesticides banned in the EU account for more than a quarter of all agricultural pesticide use in the USA. It is important to understand that the European Union is looking at the same science as the EPA. And they are making a different judgment based on the strength of the data. We have a challenge that our metric is, 'is it toxic' and 'does it cause cancer'. WHO Guidelines for Safety of Chemicals in Food are much more thorough, and add to the above. They include general system toxicity, allergy and hypersensitivity, and GI Tract Considerations (includes microbiome).   Pesticides and the Microbiome (Sarah’s Biggest Concern) Microbial diversity is generally considered to be the most important measurable criteria for a healthy microbiome. (24:31) The more different species you have, they tend to keep each other in balance. The bacteria basically control the growth of each other. We are also looking for the growth of these really important probiotic strains. In addition, we are looking for completely absent levels of pathogens. We are also looking at the balance between the two main phylum of bacteria in the gut. It is important to understand that rodent studies are actually really good studies for understanding the gut microbiome. We would want to eventually be able to do a similar study in humans. But what Sarah wants to emphasize is that these rodent studies are a really good model for understanding what is happening in humans. Let’s go through some of the most commonly-used pesticides in agriculture for food crops. Permethrin is a broad-spectrum chemical often used as an insecticide for cotton, corn, alfalfa, and wheat crops—unfortunately, it’s also lethal to bees. It’s also used to treat lice, ticks, and scabies.  For more on this, visit this link here. PEM has higher antibacterial activity against some beneficial bacteria, (including Lactobacillus paracasei and Bifidobacterium). Than against pathogens (such as Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, which only respond to higher concentrations of PEM). Carbendazim (CBZ) is a broad-spectrum benzimidazole fungicide, widely used in agriculture. In mice, 28 days of exposure to CBZ resulted in gut dysbiosis. It suppresses the growth of some of the most important probiotic families while increasing the growth of some problematic families of bacteria. And it decreases bacterial diversity. To learn more about this pesticide, see here. Epoxiconazole (EPO) is a broad-spectrum fungicide often used on grain crops, and that works by inhibiting the metabolism of fungal cells. It reduces the production of conidia—the asexual spores of a fungus that facilitate reproduction. In rats, EPO for 90 days decreased the relative abundance of Firmicutes and increased the abundance of Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria, while also selectively enriching Lachnospiraceae and Enterobacteriaceae. To learn more about this pesticide, see here.   More Commonly Used Pesticides Imazalil (IMZ) is a systemic fungicide used to combat fungi on vegetables and fruit (especially citrus), as well as tubers during storage. (30:39) In mice, IMZ exposure (at doses of 100 mg per kg of body weight daily for up to 14 days) reduced the cecal relative abundance of Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, and Actinobacteria, while also reducing microbiota richness and diversity. The IMZ-treated mice also exhibited colonic inflammation. In another study of mice, low-dose, environmentally relevant exposure to IMZ (0.1, 0.5, or 2.5 mg per kg of body weight daily) for 15 weeks resulted in gut microbiota changes. These changes included reduced mucus secretion, decreased the expression of genes related to cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CTFR) in the ileum and colon, and generally disturbed intestinal barrier function. Stacy shared her perspective on how she looks at this information. Think through the way how these pesticides are more heavily used on grains. Chlorphyrifos (CPF) is an extremely common organophosphate pesticide used to kill insects and worms, by interfering with acetylcholine signaling and disrupting their nerve processes. It’s commonly used on fruit and vegetable crops, as well as vineyards. This is one that was going to be banned in the USA, but Scott Pruitt reversed the planned ban. You can learn more about this here. Sarah shared on this study, this study, this study, and this study. This information should stimulate a reevaluation of the use of these chemicals in the food supply. Diazinon is an organophosphate insecticide used on a variety of crops—including fruit trees, rice, sugarcane, nuts, potatoes, and corn. You can learn more about this pesticide here. It causes different changes in male rodents versus female rodents. The researchers speculated that these differences—with male mice experiencing the most severe changes—were due to sex-dependent gut microbiota profiles present before treatment. You can read more about this study here.   Two More Commonly Used Pesticides Propamocarb (PMEP) is a systemic fungicide used to control root, leaf, and soil diseases caused by oomycetes (water molds) by interfering with fatty acid and phospholipid biosynthesis and therefore changing the membrane in fungi. (41:41) It can accumulate in fruit at high levels, thus reaching humans.  You can find more information on this pesticide here. In mice, 28 days of exposure to PMEP (at levels of 300 mg/L in drinking water) induced gut dysbiosis and changes in 20 fecal metabolites, including SCFAs, succinate, bile acids, and TMA. You can read more about this study here. Glyphosate is a broad-spectrum herbicide that can kill both grasses and leafy weeds. It works by inhibiting an enzyme (5-enolpyruvylshikimic acid-3-phosphate synthase, or EPSP synthase), which is used by bacteria, archaea, fungi, algae, some protozoans and plants to synthesize folates (vitamin B9), ubiquinone, menaquinones (vitamin K2), phenolic compounds, and the aromatic amino acids tyrosine, tryptophan, and phenylalanine. The pathway this affects doesn’t exist in animals, which is part of why glyphosate has historically been considered to have low toxicity in animals.  Now that we understand that we have at least as many bacterial cells living within our body as we do human cells and that those bacteria are essential to our health, the relevance of glyphosate exposure comes into focus. Many bacterially-derived compounds that benefit human health are produced via the shikimate pathway. One rat study evaluated the impact on the microbiome of two weeks of glyphosate consumption, and showed a dose-dependent increase in fecal pH attributable to a reduction in acetic acid production, implying the metabolomic impact of glyphosate exposure.   More on Glyphosate It's not that glyphosate is necessarily directly impacting our cells, but it is dramatically impacting the gut microbiome at levels that we are already being exposed to in the food supply. (48:50) In studies in poultry, cattle, and pigs, glyphosate exposure increases the ratio of pathogenic bacteria to probiotic microbes, reducing Bifidobacteria, Lactobacillus, and Enterococcus while increasing Salmonella and Clostridium. In a long-term rat study, the impact on the gut microbiome was evaluated following nearly two years of glyphosate exposure via drinking water at three different doses. Glyphosate caused a large increase in the Bacteroidetes family S24-7 (associated with obesity and inflammation) and a decrease in Lactobacillus species in females (more modest changes in males). It also altered the Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes ratio to one more closely associated with chronic disease. The authors concluded “our data suggests that the exposure to an environmental concentration of [Roundup] residues could have a role in the current epidemic of gut dysbiosis”. This occurs even at levels well below the US ADI of 1.75 mg/kg body weight /day.  There is no strong dose-response. Sarah wants to emphasize that our glyphosate exposure in food is quite high. It is definitely above the cusp for an impact on our gut microbiome composition. The FDA has a report where they have been mandated to measure glyphosate residue in the food supply. In their 2016 report they measured measurable levels of glyphosate residues in 63% of corn food crops and in 67% of soybean food crops. However, they did not say how much residue was there. The 2018 report goes to a dead link now. A Swiss study of foods purchased at a grocery store showed that legumes had the highest concentrations of glyphosate residues, up to 2.95 mg/kg. United Kingdom government testing of glyphosate residues in wholegrain bread showed levels up to 0.9 mg/kg. A study of foods purchased in Philadelphia, USA metropolitan area showed 59 percent of honey samples contained glyphosate residues, and 36 percent of soy sauce contained glyphosate residues. Third-party testing of popular breakfast cereals, crackers, and cookies by the Detox Project and Food Democracy Now! showed alarming levels of glyphosate residues in all products. Roundup Ready GMOs have the highest level of glyphosate residues. Studies prove that our current levels of exposure are sufficient for measurable amounts of glyphosate to get into our bodies.  One study showed that 44% of city dwellers in 18 countries in Europe had detectable glyphosate residues in their urine, despite Europe’s more aggressive campaign against GMO foods. A pilot study in the United States of America evaluating 131 urine samples from across the country detected glyphosate residues in the urine of 86.7% of them. The highest observed detection frequency in the Midwest was at 93.3% and the lowest in the South at 69.2%.   How to Look at this Science The EWG is looking at this much more broad group of criteria and they are taking a very similar standpoint to the European Union. (58:09) A small effect is still an effect and we need to be concerned about it. When Sarah does a deep dive look to look at the impact on the gut microbiome this is where Sarah sees the biggest area of concern. Sarah thinks it is especially important because it is not currently part of the criteria by the FDA and the EPA for whether or not these chemicals are going to be approved for use. This is the thing that Sarah really thinks needs to change. The good news is that a healthy gut microbiome and high fiber consumption can actually protect us from absorbing a lot of these pesticides.  There have been studies that showed that lactobacilli can help reduce how much pesticide on our food gets into our bodies.  There are also studies that show that higher fiber consumption can at least partially reverse the gut dysbiosis. As we get back to the heart of this question, there are studies that show that the answer is no. High vegetable consumption is still really important because it does support a healthy gut microbiome, to begin with. And a healthy gut microbiome is going to protect us in a lot of ways. For example, they can protect us against heavy metals. Even if we can't afford organic to not let that dissuade us from eating that high vegetable consumption because of this. Sarah sees this as an exciting two-way street. Even though pesticide residues are impacting the composition of our guts, the composition of our gut is influenced by more than just that. It is influenced by how many fruits and vegetables we eat, mushrooms, nuts and seeds, variety, how much fish, how quality the olive oil is that we are consuming, etc. All of these things help to determine the composition of our gut microbiome. Doing all of these foundational things becomes more important when we are not necessarily in a position to be able to seek out and afford the highest food quality. It is still really important to eat a vegetable-rich diet. That's why Sarah wants to classify all of this science as the next level. The foundational principle is still eating a lot of fruits and vegetables, even if our only access to that is conventional. Beyond that, yes the Dirty Dozen and Clean Fifteen lists from the EWG are a wonderful tool. Not that Sarah agrees with everything the EWG has said, Sarah thinks that these are spot on in the sense of trying to minimize our exposure to pesticide residues.   How to Limit Pesticide Exposure Stacy feels that the podcast referenced and the information they are sharing aren't so far apart. (1:02:10) Sarah and Stacy discussed a point shared in the documentary Food Inc. that really hit this information home. We do the best that we can with what we can, and become educated on what other things we can do to support healthy living. Nothing is ever perfect. Prioritize the foods you purchase and do the best you can. It is not good to stress about these things. The dirty dozen list includes strawberries, spinach, kale, nectarines, apples, grapes, peaches, cherries, pears, tomatoes, celery and potatoes The clean fifteen list includes avocados, sweet corn, pineapple, onions, papaya, sweet peas (frozen), eggplants, asparagus, cauliflower, cantaloupes, broccoli, mushrooms, cabbage, honeydew melon, and kiwifruit. If you are going to get something off the dirty dozen conventional, look at ways that you can wash that food very well or ways you can peel the food to remove the majority of the pesticide residue. USDA certification is very expensive, so a lot of small family farms are growing organically, but don't have the certification. Talk to farmers and find out how they are growing their food. Stacy can't handle the sight of bugs in her fresh vegetables. Eating fruits and vegetables is a good thing. Perfection is not the goal. Neither Stacy nor Stacy eats 100% organic, they both do the best that they can. Sarah has found that the prices at her local farmer's market are best. Develop relationships with your local farmers, and shop at the end of the market. Stacy subscribes to Hungry Harvest, which has a waiting list right now. Sarah prescribes to MisFit Market, there is also one called Imperfect Produce. One of the things that Sarah loves about her subscription is the surprise element of it, which forces her to get creative with her meal planning. At Stacy's house they meal plan when their box arrives, based on what they received. Stacy shared more information on their meal planning process as a family, and how focused they have become to make sure they are not wasting food. Building relationships with your local farmers is a point that Stacy echoed from Sarah. Buying things in season or frozen can also be a helpful way to save money. Stacy's organic box is at least 30% off had they purchased those items at a grocery store regularly. The thing that Stacy most loves about Hungry Harvest is that they give back to the community.   Closing Thoughts Stacy thanked Sarah for all the research she did for this show!

As we start to spend more time outdoors might I remind you that it is very necessary to check for ticks when you come in from gardening, hiking and playing outdoors. Take precautions.  Spray your clothes, shoes and hat with Permethrin (https://amzn.to/2WKwJxQ ) Take a shower when coming in from the outdoors and look at armpits/groin area/behind knees and in the scalp for ticks.  Remember, little ticks can be the size of poppy seeds. Stay safe. PS  There are lots of back episodes about Lyme Disease and co-infections.  Search on iTunes!

Dette afsnit om fnat er delt op i 2 dele. I 1. del fortæller Læge Maria Blomberg hvad fnat er og hvilke midler man kan behandle med. I 2. del ca 7 minutter fremme fortæller sygeplejerske Siri Zelander hvordan man helt lavpraktisk behandler fnat med Permethrin creme (Nix) og hvordan rengøringen skal udføres. I 2. del ca 12 minutter fremme gennemgås også Behandlingen med Tenutex og Svovlvaseline. Du kan derved spole frem til den del du har brug for at høre.God lytning.

First off - it's Thursday but was sure it was Wednesday when I recorded this :) but I was too tired to re-record this so there you go. Today I talk about the fact that you DO NOT need to have a bulls eye rash to have Lyme Disease but if you find one get yourself to the Dr. for antibiotics STAT. Over on Instagram I will show you how to use Permethrin Spray on clothing (ONLY ON CLOTHING!!) www.instagram.com/theguudcompany You can buy the spray on Amazon here www.amzn.to/PermethrinGuud Hang in there friends!  

Tick checks after being outside are IMPERATIVE. If you can pick a tick off of your skin cleanly that means it hasn't bitten you yet… If you find a tick attached or imbedded in your skin here's the Scoop. Use fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the tick as close to the skin's surface as possible.  It will be face first burrowing into your skin.  Pull upward with steady, even pressure. Don't twist or jerk the tick; this can cause the mouth-parts to break off and remain in the skin. If this happens, try to remove the mouth-parts with tweezers. If you are unable to remove the mouth easily with clean tweezers, leave it alone and let the skin heal. After removing the tick, thoroughly clean the bite area and your hands with rubbing alcohol, an iodine scrub, or soap and water. Avoid folklore remedies such as "painting" the tick with nail polish or petroleum jelly, or using heat to make the tick detach from the skin. Your goal is to remove the tick as quickly as possible–not waiting for it to detach. WHAT TO DO WITH IT Place the tick it in a ziplock and write the date on it with a Sharpie pen; place a small wet piece a paper towel in bag with tick.  If you suspect the tick has been attached for awhile you might want to send it into a lab to be tested for tick borne diseases which is easier that waiting for symptoms of Lyme to appear. www.tickreport.com   $50-200 results in 3 days Tomorrow and Friday I will teach you prevention strategies including Permethrin spray for clothing, what to use on skin and how to make tick tubes to keep the tick population on your property down.

Survival Medicine Podcast #379 Today, we talk about a mosquito-borne illness. What? It’s freezing out there, there’s no mosquitoes! Well, Down here in South Florida, we get outbreaks of tropical infections even in wintertime. A while ago, I wrote about a mosquito-borne virus that strikes warm weather regions: Dengue Fever. At that time, I reported that places as far apart from each other as Singapore, Nicaragua, and Bangladesh had reported Dengue outbreaks. Not since the beginning of the year, but on the same day! This distribution meets the WHO definition of pandemic, characterized by community level outbreaks in different regions.) This week, the Florida Department of Health in Miami issued an alert after two local residents came down with Dengue symptoms, bringing the total to 14 for 2019. These cases were not thought to be contracted in other countries, but locally in the South Florida area. The implication is that local mosquitoes in the area are a reservoir for the disease. Dr. Alton and Nurse Amy discuss what you need to know about Dengue in terms of recognition, treatment, and prevention. Also, methods to apply Permethrin 0.5% solution to clothing (not skin). This insecticide gives long-lasting effective protection against mosquito bites and might be useful in epidemic settings caused by insect bites.

At that time, I reported that places as far apart from each other as Singapore, Nicaragua, and Bangladesh had reported Dengue outbreaks. Not since the beginning of the year, but on the same day! This distribution meets the WHO definition of pandemic, characterized by community level outbreaks in different regions.) This week, the Florida Department of Health in Miami issued an alert after two local residents came down with Dengue symptoms, bringing the total to 14 for 2019. These cases were not thought to be contracted in other countries, but locally in the South Florida area. The implication is that local mosquitoes in the area are a reservoir for the disease. Dr. Alton and Nurse Amy discuss what you need to know about Dengue in terms of recognition, treatment, and prevention. Also, methods to apply Permethrin 0.5% solution to clothing (not skin). This insecticide gives long-lasting effective protection against mosquito bites and might be useful in epidemic settings caused by insect bites. Wishing you the best of health in good times or bad, Joe and Amy Alton Don't forget to check out our entire line of medical kits and supplies at store.doomandbloom.net!

Contributor: John Winkler Educational Pearls: There is increasing resistance to antimalarial drugs, especially in P. falciparum. This trend started with chloroquine, but is now spreading to the other first-line drugs.  Resistant strains have been identified in Cambodia and Thailand 220 million people were infected last year The best treatment of malaria is prevention from bites - DEET and permethrin are typical effective options. Permethrin may be applied to clothing items before travel, and will last through 6-8 wash cycles. While malaria is rare in the US, it should be considered in those having recently travelled References Hamilton WL, Amato R, van der Pluijm RW, et al.

Yesterday, we discussed prevention by treating both skin and clothing with repellents.  Today, you can easily make tick tubes to keep the tick population low. To do this: save your toilet paper rolls or paper towel rolls (just cut in half) and save your dryer lint or use cotton balls.  Spray the lint/cotton balls with Permethrin and let dry for 24 hours.  Please follow all directions on the bottle and as always, wash hands after handling any chemicals. Once dry, fill the tubes with the lint/cotton and place in areas where you suspect mice activity.  Wood piles, rock walls, under bushes, etc. These can also be purchased premade on Amazon. Stay safe friends!  

Lyme Disease can be prevented.  Wear bug repellent and use Permethrin to treat clothing. The ones we love are on our Wellness Warrior Checklist: http://bit.ly/WellnessWarriorChecklist  Listen HOW to use them today!

Noter og links på: SIVP.dk/86: Dyrlæge Chris Beyers er amerikansk diplomat og praktiserer på et dyrehospital i Nebraska. Han formidler på en blog til hunde- og katteejere omkring ”Critical care”, for at hjælpe ejerne med at træffe de rigtige valg, herunder loppemidler til katte. Katte er meget følsomme overfor Permethrin, som vi finder i mange produkter mod lopper og flåter til hunde, heriblandt Bayvantic, Frontect og Vectra. Produkter til katte må ikke indeholde mere end 1% Permethrin, før det begynder at påvirke katten. Chris fortæller i dag om den initiale dekontaminering af katte med Permethrin-forgiftning, og hvordan vi vejleder vores katteejere.

Deer ticks are carried by deer but more commonly by the white-footed mouse. Reduce the amount of ticks a mouse is carrying and reduce the chance of having one bite you. Using the same chemical Permethrin, make tick tubes. You will need toilet paper or paper towel tubes (cut long ones in half), cotton balls and Permethrin spray. Wearing gloves in a well-ventilated area spray cotton balls with Permethrin on both sides and let dry. Stick approx. 10 cotton balls in each tube. Leave these tubes in areas where you have seen or suspect mice activity. Corners in your garage, near wood piles or under shrubs. The mice will take the cotton balls back to their nests and the chemical will drive the ticks from the nest reducing the number of ticks a mouse can carry. Voila! No harm to the mice and less ticks in your yard. Permethrin spray here: http://a.co/bTVcHjo Tick Tubes Video: http://bit.ly/2JokddY

Having designated clothing for outdoor play, gardening or hiking is a great idea. Treating these pieces of clothing with a spray containing the chemical Permethrin repels bugs and insects keeping you safe. The one we like is on our Wellness Warrior Checklist here: http://a.co/bTVcHjo Make sure to use it in a well ventilated area and don't breathe in the spray. Let the clothing dry for a few hours before wearing and never spray directly onto skin. As always, tick check when coming inside, throw those clothes into the washer and hop in the shower. Remember the clothes sprayed with Permethrin will protect you for up to 6 washes.

Teil I: Bereits seit Jahrzehnten wird der Anteil des nicht-genetisch bedingten Risikos für Brustkrebs auf über 60% geschätzt. Umweltfaktoren wie Adipositas, Ernährung und körperliche Aktivität, sozioökonomischer Status, elektromagnetische Felder und Nikotin sind in vielen Studien mit dem Brustkrebsrisiko assoziiert; jedoch nur radioaktive Bestrahlung und hormonelle Faktoren, die östrogenimitierend wirken, sind anerkannte Risikofaktoren für Brustkrebs. Teil II: 17 Studien mit Messung im Fettgewebe und 25 Serumstudien sind bisher zu der Fragestellung Pestizide und Brustkrebs als Fall-Kontroll-Studien publiziert, die in der Mehrzahl keine signifikanten Assoziationen zum Brustkrebsrisiko beobachteten. Für Untergruppen mit erhöhter Exposition, wie bei dunkelhäutigen Frauen oder bei Frauen, die nicht stillten, wird ein erhöhtes Brustkrebsrisiko mit steigenden Konzentrationen einiger Substanzen berichtet. Teil III: Für die Substanzen DDT/DDE, HCB, HCH, Pyrethroide, PCP und PCB existieren experimentelle Daten über hormonimitierende, zumeist östrogene Wirkungen, die bei hormonsensitiven Tumoren, wie dem Brustkrebs, an der Karzinogenese beteiligt sind. DDT/DDE, -HCH, HCB und PCP gelten als möglicherweise humankanzerogen, PCB als wahrscheinlich humankanzerogen. DDE, -HCH, HCB und hochchlorierte PCBs sind persistent und schwer abbaubar. Teil IV: Es wurde eine krankenhausbasierte Fall-Kontroll-Studie an neun Patientinnen mit histologisch nachgewiesenen Mammakarzinomen und sieben nach dem Alter gematchten Kontrollpatientinnen mit benignen Mammaveränderungen, die sich einem operativen Eingriff an ihrer Brust unterzogen, durchgeführt. Bezüglich der Confounder Alter, Alter bei Menarche, Alter bei erster Geburt, Stilldauer (Monate), BMI und Zahl der Kinder bestanden keine signifikanten Unterschiede zwischen Fall- und Kontrollgruppe. Die Patientinnen der Fallgruppe waren überwiegend postmenopausal, die in der Kontrollgruppe überwiegend prämenopausal; in der Fallgruppe rauchte eine von neun Patientinnen (= 11%), in der Kontrollgruppe fünf von sieben (= 71%). Es wurde Brust- bzw. Tumorgewebe auf die Gehalte an DDT/DDE, HCB, ß-HCH, Permethrin, PCP und die Summe der PCB-Abkömmlinge Nr. 28, 52, 101, 138, 153 und 180 gaschromatografisch mit Elektroneneinfangdetektor untersucht. Permethrin wurde in keiner Probe oberhalb der Nachweisgrenze von 50 ppb detektiert. Statistisch signifikante Unterschiede zwischen Fall- und Kontrollgruppe wurden für keine Substanz festgestellt. Die von uns gemessenen HCB-Konzentrationen sind mit 794/561 ppb in Fall-/Kontrollgruppe (arithmetrisches Mittel) nach hiesiger Kenntnis die höchsten, welche bisher im Brustgewebe festgestellt wurden. Dies ist vermutlich auf eine stärkere Belastung der deutschen Nahrungsmittel mit HCB zurückzuführen. Bei der Untersuchung der Werte des Gesamtkollektivs korrelierte die Anzahl der Geburten signifikant negativ mit dem Gehalt an DDT (r=-0,72; p
