After study of this topic and the standards used to test the Spiromesifen, I
disagree with the Environmental Protection Agency in this decision to raise the
acceptable tolerance level of Spiromesifen in/on vegetables and grains. I think the
date should be re-analyzed, and the decision to raise acceptable tolerance levels
in infants/children should specifically be addressed and studied. The side-effects
shown in the test animals are simply unacceptable, and if they were to show up in
humans, even if the levels were high in the test animals, the results would be
catastrophic. I think the investigation should be re-opened, and testing continued
and completely exhausted.
