Exposure to Imidacloprid and Glyphosate: Effects on Vertebrates
Judy Hoy is a scientist, wildlife biologist, and educator, who taught elementary school for 12 years, rehabilitated wildlife for 50 years, continuously documented the birth defects that began occurring on wildlife in spring of 1995 and has co-authored several scientific papers on animals and plants. Specific birth defects are relatively high in prevalence on both wild and domestic animals, and even more concerning, on newborn children. Newborn children are approximately the same size as...
OverSanitized
The Clean Hand Obsession From supermarkets to schoolyards, it is hard to travel more than ten feet without running into a bottle of hand sanitizer!
