In summer, various fruits and vegetables begin to enter the peak season, Many birds, such as catbirds, mockingbirds, and robins, eat fruit and berries all summer long, when people pick vegetables in the garden, they often find that individual vegetable leaves are eaten by insects or birds with multiple holes, and there are pests and feces on the back of the vegetable leaves, That's what a lot of people hate about summer.
Now many fruits and vegetables will be coated with some pesticides, these vegetables, and fruits on the residue of pesticides, but pesticides to the health of anyone who eats highly contaminated fruits and vegetables with pesticides can have serious effects.
Pesticides can have grave effects on the health of anybody consuming fruits or vegetables highly contaminated with pesticides,“Pesticides are chemicals that are specifically designed to kill living organisms,” says Devon Payne-Sturges, DrPH, an associate professor at the University of Maryland School of Public Health in College Park. The Environmental Protection Agency says agricultural pesticide exposure is tied to asthma, bronchitis, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, Parkinson’s disease, and prostate and lung cancers.
Plenty of research bears this out. A 2019 study in JAMA Internal Medicine found that people with the highest levels of exposure to pyrethroid pesticides were three times as likely to die from cardiovascular disease during the 14-year study than those with less exposure. In a 2010 study in the journal Pediatrics, children with greater exposure to organophosphate pesticides were more likely to be diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, known as ADHD. And a 2016 analysis in Scientific Reports found a link between pesticides and an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
