I used to consider this type of sarcastic response counterproductive, but based on my research the facts are pretty disconcerting.

- There are over 1,200 active chemically distinct pesticide active-ingredients

- For every pesticide registered for use there are at least as many that have been pulled from use ("deregistered"). There is no official record for which of these 1000+ chemicals have been deregistered for health reasons.
