What do you know about pesticides that are currently used? Is there any long-term danger to our health?

Um, this is a question that can't be summed up in a paragraph. First you have to define pesticide -- a chemical applied? a genetic mutation created by people? what if it is an organic or natural pesticide?  Long term danger -- well, chemicals can mix with each other in ways we don't realize, and affect us in unseen ways. There's also the pesticides that kill off beneficial insects/animals and have a ripple effect that way. If you want some more thorough and reliable information, you can contact a local school or university, do research at a trustworthy source (not everything on the internet or in print is true!) , read and think.  There are a lot of chemicals being used, and a lot of different opinions on their safety. A big question is what happens when everything gets mixed together in our bodies or in our drinking water?
