Herbicide/Pesticide Exposure
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Has anyone had exposure to chemicals, specifically farm chemicals…herbicide/pesticides? I farmed up until about 3 years ago and have been around chemicals quite a bit…I used to do most of the spraying of our fields. I also saw an article from 2015 that said the Midwest was where most cases of fibromyalgia are.

Yes, I have had to use pesticides in the past, (family farm 48 yrs)... sparingly. I did always follow
safety guides abt
exposure to skin, etc. Never used on breezy days.

Years ago, we started using those with natural ingredients, if at all possible, or the least harmful
ingredients.

Who knows? With All the chemicals in the
air, water, food,
everyday products? 🤔☠

I have wondered
about the exposure, myself,
and different ailments.

One of our highly
guarded lakes was found to have a chemical
in it. It could only
have come from the air. So they say. 👨‍🔬

Best Wishes for
better days.🙏🌻

I was exposed as a kid. I don’t know anything about pesticides and fibro. Gentle hugs.
