According to the study by the NRC (Natural Resources Defense Council) - pet owners who use flea collars on their dogs and cats exposed to 500 times the safety levels (EPA) EPA pesticide! And for children these levels can be up to 1,000 times. Every time you play with a pet with a flea collar being exposed to very high levels of pesticides. Children, infants and developing fetuses are most vulnerable to the effects of pesticides on the nervous system.
Pesticides are designed to interfere with the normal functioning of the nervous system on the nerves leading to shock and death of an insect. They do this by blocking acetyl choline - an important messenger in the brain that sends key information of the nerve cell to neighboring nerve cells. The accumulation of acetyl choline leading to over stimulation of the nervous and eventually death. The development of embryos, fetuses, infants and children are also very sensitive to pesticides because their nervous system is developing and growing. Scientists fear that exposure to pesticides can not only lead to acute poisoning, but also the problems of long-term brain function, behavioral problems and other serious diseases.
Pesticides accumulate in the body, they are dangerous for the human brain, the nervous system and disrupt hormone function, will affect the quality of eggs and sperm, predispose to infertility and can cause miscarriages and birth defects the congenital and long-term exposure has been linked to cancer and other degenerative diseases as "old age" tag. It really makes you wonder how many "old age" diseases are actually the result of a long-term slow poisoning?
Animal products do not have to go through the same rigorous testing that consumer products are. And up to 1996 products for external use in humans do not have to go through the same rigorous analysis through food. Even now, most of the products you find on the shelves in supermarkets have not been adequately tested for human use or to the child.
Apart from flea collars you be bad for your fertility and child health are also highly toxic to animals - slowly poisoning them. Pets are not very good to say they do not feel well and signs of slow poisoning is difficult to detect. If you are a pet owner, you love your pet as a family member and you do not want to die prematurely.
What you should stay away from
Most flea and tick collars on the market are so-called phosphorylate insecticides or PO, such as:
Chloroforms
dichloride
phosphate
baled
tetrachloride
diapason
malathion
They are used not only unpleasant for pet, but also in cleaning products for home and processed foods. Many pesticides find their way into the meat and dairy products as livestock grazing in the grass that has been sprayed. Pesticides also find their way into our waterways. The cattle do not drink filtered water which means they are exposed to these toxins in the water too. Not to mention that operational programs are very toxic to the aquatic environment poison fish in the world which can then land on your plate. And of course, all fruits and vegetables are not sprayed with pesticides.
what to do
Use flea and tick treatments that are applied to the skin of the animal in the neck. Although still toxic to animals exposure to 24 hours will be minimal if any. Use natural flea collars, but be careful because some essential oils, penny royal and sage for example, found in these products come from plants known as antiabortionists - that is, which may predispose miscarriage.
Get a flea comb, comb your pet regularly with him, keep his pet hair short and combed, wash them regularly in natural shampoos and sure to keep your linen wash regularly. You can add tea tree oil or citrus oil or eucalyptus loading washing bedding and toys for your pet to kill any nasty push and hold the smell after drying.
Wash your hands after playing with your pet before eating or touching your face and mouth if you used a pesticide treatment based chips. The same should be done by their children.
